Renormalized evolution equations for the back-reaction problem with a self-interacting scalar field

We present the renormalized equations which rule the evolution of the mean value of the field and the metric of the spacetime for the 4 theory. The calculations are done in the one-loop approximation and the classical background gravitational field is a general one. For the particular example of a R...
