Aspects and applications of quantum field theory on spaces with conical singularities
Abstract
Description
One-loop effects for quantum fields living on manifolds containing conical singularities are investigated in the context of cosmic string background and of finite-temperature theory in the Rindler wedge or outside the horizon of a Schwarzschild black-hole.
