This volume contains papers based on talks delivered at the Third
Workshop on Quantum Field Theory under the /nftuence of External
Conditions held at the University of Leipzig from September 18th to
September 22nd, 1995. This series of Workshops is organized by the
quantum field theory group at the University of Leipzig. The first
and the second Workshop in the row have been held in 1989 and 1992.
The present meeting has been joined by more than 70 participants.
This fact underlines the vivid interest in the field covered by the
Workshop ranging from the Casimir effect to semiclassical gravity.
The material of this volume is organized along five subjects. The
first part is devoted to the Casimir effect itself. The actual
interest is mostly in non-stationary boundaries and a possible
explanation of the phenomenon of sonoluminescence - a still open
and challenging question. The second part deals with QED and QCD in
external fields. The main interest was focused on the effective
action approach, on some aspects of the bag model and on quantum
effects in a conical background. The ground state in external
fields is studied in the contributions of the third part. They
demonstrate that the zeta function regularization tagether with the
heat kerne expansion is the most powerful method at present. New
calculations of functional determinants, of finite temperature
effects and an interesting method applicable in the presence of
smooth background fields are presented.
