Elizalde, E. (Emili), 1950-2012-04-262012-04-2619900022-2488https://hdl.handle.net/2445/24555For a few years now, the study of quantum field theories in partially compactified space-time manifolds has acquired increasing importance in several domains of quantum physics. Let me just mention the issues of dimensional reduction and spontaneous compactification, and the multiple questions associated with the study of quantum field theories in the presence of boundaries (like the Casimir effect) and on curved space-time (manifolds with curvature and nontrivial topology), a step towards quantum gravity.5 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Institute of Physics, 1990Funcions zetaFuncionsGravetat quànticaTeoria quàntica de campsZeta functionsFunctionsQuantum gravityQuantum field theoryinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article36010info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
