Abstract

We derive the unique, local vacuum stress tensor for electromagnetic, neutrino and massless scalar fields propagating in a Robertson─Walker background spacetime. The result is used to compute the numerical coefficients of the conformal trace anomalies from the known values of the Casimir energy in the Einstein universe.
