Abstract
Free and self-interacting scalar fields in the presence of conical sin gularities are analyzed in some detail. The role of such a kind of sin gularities on free and Vacuum energy and also on the one-loop effectiv e action is pointed out using zeta-function regularization and heat-ke rnel techniques.
