Abstract:
We derive the family of all Hadamard symmetric kernels for a quantum massive scalar field propagating at a classical curved background, which can be constructed in terms of purely local geometric quantities. No such kernal exists in the massless limit, unless "restricted geometric objects", which only have a meaning at conformally flat metrics, are used in its construction. We discuss the relation of this result with the anomalous trace of the renormalized vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor in the case of conformal triviality. Trace anomaly is shown to be inevitable, if the renormalization recipe is defined in terms of purely geometric quantities, as a consequence of the inexistence of a geometric generalization encompassing every possible space-time of the well-known conformal-vacuum at Robertson-Walker universes. © 1984.
