We describe a few unexpected features of de Sitter quantum field theory (QFT) that have no Minkowskian counterparts. These phenomena show that even when the cosmological constant is tiny a Minkowskian way of fast thinking about de Sitter can lead to mistakes and that de Sitter QFT is essentially different from standard relativistic (Minkowskian) QFT.

We examine the solutions of the semilinear wave equation, and, in particular, of the [Formula: see text] model of quantum field theory in the curved spacetime. More exactly, for [Formula: see text] we prove that the solution of the massless self-interacting scalar field equation in the Einstein–de Sitter universe has finite lifespan.

In this paper we propose a "second quantization" scheme especially suitable for dealing with nontrivial, highly symmetric phase spaces, implemented within a more general group approach to quantization, which recovers the standard quantum field theory (QFT) for ordinary relativistic linear fields. We emphasize, among its main virtues, greater suitability in characterizing vacuum states in a QFT on a highly symmetric curved space–time and the absence of the usual requirement of global hyperbolicity. This can be achieved in the special case of the Anti-de Sitter universe, on which we explicitly construct a QFT.

A synthetic report of the advances in the study of classical and quantum string dynamics in curved backgrounds is provided, namely : the new feature of Multistring solutions; the mass spectrum of Strings in Curved backgrounds; The effect of a Cosmological Constant and of Spacial Curvature on Classical and Quantum Strings; Classical splitting of Fundamental Strings; The General String Evolution in constant Curvature Spacetimes; The Conformal Invariance Effects; Strings on plane fronted and gravitational shock waves, string falling on spacetime singularities and its spectrum. New Developments in String Gravity and String Cosmology are reported: String driven cosmology and its Predictions; The primordial gravitational wave background; Non-singular string cosmologies from Exact Conformal Field Theories; Quantum Field Theory, String Temperature and the String Phase of de Sitter space-time; Hawking Radiation in String Theory and the String Phase of Black Holes; New Dual Relation between Quantum Field Theory regime and String regime and the "QFT/String Tango"; New Coherent String States and Minimal Uncertainty Principle in string theory.
