Journal Article · · Soviet Journal of Nuclear Physics (English Translation); (USA)
OSTI ID:5004461

A theory of free and interacting massless fields is constructed in static de Sitter space and also in the conic de Sitter space containing a straight-line cosmic string. Vacuum-polarization effects and dynamical symmetry breaking are studied.
