Abstract
By using the dimensional regularization procedure, we explicitly calculate the coefficients of conformal anomalies in a general background metric due to scalar, spin 12 fermion, gauge and gravitation fields.

Quantum field theory predicts a number of unusual physical effects in non-Minkowskian manifolds (flat or curved) that have no immediate analogs in Minkowski spacetime, including curvature couples directly to matter through the stress tensor and induces the creation of real particles.
