We compute the vacuum polarization for a massless, conformally coupled scalar field on the
covering space of global, four-dimensional, anti-de Sitter space-time. Since anti-de Sitter …

On an n-dimensional, massless, topological black hole with hyperbolic sections, we
construct the two-point function both of a ground state and of a thermal state for a real …

Two novel topological black hole exact solutions with unusual shapes of horizons in the
simplest holographic axions model, the four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-axions theory …

We compute the renormalized vacuum polarization for a massless, conformally coupled
scalar field on asymptotically anti–de Sitter black hole backgrounds. Mixed (Robin) …

We consider a quantum scalar field on the classical background of an asymptotically anti–de
Sitter black hole and the backreaction the field's stress-energy tensor induces on the black …

To calculate the Hawking temperature of a topological black hole, one must take into
account the proper distance, as the presence of topological defects can cause a change in …

This thesis considers a real, massless, conformally coupled scalar field propagating on the
covering space of four-dimensional anti-de Sitter space (CadS) and on four-dimensional …
