Covariant Vacuum Polarizations on de Sitter Background
Katie E. Leonard, T. Prokopec, R. P. Woodard
We derive covariant expressions for the one loop vacuum polarization induced by a charged scalar on de Sitter background. Two forms are employed: one in which two covariant derivat…

Effect of the Trace Anomaly on the Cosmological Constant
Jurjen F. Koksma, Tomislav Prokopec
It has been argued that the quantum (conformal) trace anomaly could potentially provide us with a dynamical explanation of the cosmological constant problem. In this paper, however…
