TL;DR: In this paper, the authors diagonalize the metric Hamiltonian and evaluate the energy spectrum of the corresponding quasiparticles for a scalar field coupled to a curvature in the case of an N-dimensional homogeneous isotropic space.
Abstract: We diagonalize the metric Hamiltonian and evaluate the energy spectrum of the corresponding quasiparticles for a scalar field coupled to a curvature in the case of an N-dimensional homogeneous isotropic space. The energy spectrum for the quasiparticles corresponding to the diagonal form of the canonical Hamiltonian is also evaluated. We construct a modified energy–momentum tensor with the following properties: for the conformal scalar field, it coincides with the metric energy–momentum tensor; the energies of the particles corresponding to its diagonal form are equal to the oscillator frequency; and the number of such particles created in a nonstationary metric is finite. We show that the Hamiltonian defined by the modified energy–momentum tensor can be obtained as the canonical Hamiltonian under a certain choice of variables.

TL;DR: In this article, the vacuum expectation of the energymomentum tensor for a scalar field arbitrarily coupled to a curvature in the case of an N-dimensional quasi-Euclidean space-time was defined in accordance with the Hamiltonian diagonalization method.
Abstract: We obtain the vacuum expectation values of the energy–momentum tensor for a scalar field arbitrarily coupled to a curvature in the case of an N-dimensional quasi-Euclidean space–time; the vacuum is defined in accordance with the Hamiltonian diagonalization method. We extend the n-wave procedure to the many-dimensional case. We find all the counterterms in the case N=5 and the counterterms for the conformal scalar field in the cases N=6,7. We determine the geometric structure of the first three counterterms in the N-dimensional case. We show that all the subtractions in the four-dimensional case and the first three subtractions in the many-dimensional case correspond to the renormalization of the parameters in the bare gravitational Lagrangian. We discuss the geometric structure of the other counterterms in the many-dimensional case and the problem of eliminating the conformal anomaly in the four-dimensional case.
