Trace anomaly in the field-antifield formalism

arXiv:hep-th/9504039 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/13/5/025

Abstract

The field-antifield quantization method is used to calculate the trace anomaly for a massless scalar field in a curved background, by means of the zeta function regularization procedure.
