Description

It is proved that there is a unique conserved stress tensor possessing a local trace, in the two-dimensional quantum theory of massless scalar and spinor fields propagating in curved space-time. No regularization is therefore required to obtain explicit expressions for the stress tensor. The results agree exactly with earlier expressions obtained from point-splitting regularization.
