Location: Room H1.52, UCD Science Hub, University College Dublin,

Abstract:

In this talk, I will look at a real massive free quantum scalar field with arbitrary curvature coupling on $n$-dimensional anti-de Sitter space-time. I will show how analytical expressions of the vacuum expectation value of the stress-energy tensor are obtained using Hadamard renormalisation.
