Phys. Rev. D 20, 1757–1771 (1979)Quantum effects in the early universe. I. Influence of trace anomalies on homogeneous, isotropic, classical geometriesReceived 28 September 1978; revised 16 April 1979; published in the issue dated 15 October 1979 The use of the effective-action method to calculate quantum effects in the early universe is described. An application is made to the calculation of the effect of one-loop contributions of conformally invariant matter fields on the evolution of homogeneous, isotropic, spatially flat classical geometries containing classical radiation. © 1979 The American Physical Society URL:
