Abstract: (APS)
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.- COSMOLOGICAL MODEL
