The appearance of divergent integrals is discussed and circumvented. The issue is considered in the context of a massless scalar field in cosmic string spacetime.275021-275024engNote on the point-splitting procedure to evaluate vacuum fluctuation in certain cylindrically symmetric backgroundsArtigo10.1103/PhysRevD.58.027502WOS:000075180900061Acesso aberto2-s2.0-05423713172-s2.0-0542371317.pdf8525680767393616
