We study the vacuum polarization effect in the space–time generated by a magnetic flux cosmic string in the framework of a scalar–tensor theory of gravity. The vacuum expectation values of the energy–momentum tensor of a conformally coupled scalar field are calculated and the dilaton's contribution to the vacuum polarization effect is shown.

We investigate the energy–momentum tensor for a massless conformally coupled scalar field in the region between two curved surfaces in k = -1 static Robertson–Walker space–time. We assume that the scalar field satisfies the Robin boundary condition on the surfaces. Robertson–Walker space–time space is conformally related to Rindler space; as a result we can obtain vacuum expectation values of the energy–momentum tensor for a conformally invariant field in Robertson–Walker space–time space from the corresponding Rindler counterpart by the conformal transformation.

We investigate the vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor associated with a massive fermionic field obeying the MIT bag boundary condition on a spherical shell in the global monopole spacetime. The asymptotic behavior of the vacuum densities is investigated near the sphere center and surface, and at large distances from the sphere. In the limit of strong gravitational field corresponding to small values of the parameter describing the solid angle deficit in global monopole geometry, the sphere-induced expectation values are exponentially suppressed.

In this paper, we study the effect of the quantum backreaction on Brans–Dicke cosmology in inflation era. We consider an inflaton field in the [Formula: see text]-dimensional spacetime in the framework of Brans–Dicke model. We use a new notation for the Brans–Dicke field in terms of the dilaton field. Then we obtain the vacuum expectation value of the full energy–momentum tensor using WKB approximation of the mode functions which satisfy the equations of motion. The obtained vacuum expectation values of energy–momentum tensor are divergent. In order to renormalize it, we introduce a constant cut-off [Formula: see text]. The vacuum expectation value of energy–momentum tensor is separated to the UV and IR parts by using [Formula: see text] cut-off. Then, we use the dimensional regularization method to eliminate divergences by introducing a counterterm action. Also, we calculate the IR contribution of the vacuum expectation value of energy–momentum tensor. Thus, we obtain a physically finite result for the quantum energy–momentum tensor. Finally, we find the effect of backreaction on scale factor.
