- Description
- The total vacuum stress-energy tensor of nonconformal scalar field is calculated in a nonsingular metric determined by some background matter with the effective negative energy density and pressure. The corrections due to the field nonconformity are shown to dominate the conformal contributions for some cases. The back reaction problem of vacuum stress-energy tensor upon the background metric is also discussed.
