Analytic torsion on spherical factors and tessellations
J. S. Dowker, Peter Chang
The analytic torsion is computed on fixed-point free and non fixed-point free factors (tessellations) of the three--sphere. We repeat the standard computation on spherical space fo…

Vacuum energy on orbifold factors of spheres
Peter Chang, J. S. Dowker
The vacuum energy is calculated for a free, conformally-coupled scalar field on the orbifold space-time \R where is a finite subgroup of O(3) acting with fixed po…

Polyhedral Cosmic Strings
J. S. Dowker, Peter Chang
Quantum field theory is discussed in Möbius corner kaleidoscopes using the method of images. The vacuum average of the stress-energy tensor of a free field is derived and is shown…
