Book Description:

This volume collects lectures of the 2002 Poincarè Seminars at the Institut Henri Poincarè in Paris. The topic of the first lecture is vacuum energy, in particular the Casimir effect and the nature of the cosmological constant. The second concentrates on renormalization, its mathematical structure and applications to high energy physics, statistical mechanics and classical mechanics. These introductory talks open the way to the frontiers of experimental and theoretical research.
