Résumé

First volume of the collection of lectures of the Seminaire Poincaré, held at the IHP in Paris, directed to students and researchers in mathematics and physics; one volume per year planned, both hardcover and softcover edition. Hardcover in PMP mainly for libraries, softcover not in PMP, with different cover, for students. Top-notch lecturers.

The Poincaré Seminar is held twice a year at the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris. This volume contains the lectures of the 2002 seminars. The main topic of the first one was the vacuum energy, in particular the Casimir effect and the nature of the cosmological constant. The second one was concentrated on renormalization, giving a comprehensive account of its mathematical structure and applications to high energy physics, statistical mechanics and classical mechanics. Students will find excellent introductions to the subjects with further lectures leading to the frontiers of experimental and theoretical research, scientists will profit from contributions by outstanding experts.
