Quantum effects in higher-dimensional cosmological models
  Vacuum energy density and stresses are investigated for a scalar field in de Sitter spacetime with an arbitrary number of toroidally compactified spatial dimensions and in anti-de Sitter spacetime with two parallel branes. On the branes the field obeys the Robin boundary conditions. The behavior of the vacuum expectation values is discussed in various asymptotic regions of the parameters. Applications are given to Randall-Sundrum type braneworlds.
