Abstract

We consider the contribution of Zero Point Energy on the induced Cosmological Constant and on the induced Electric/Magnetic charge in absence of matter fields. The method is applicable to every spherically symmetric background. Extensions to a generic f(R) theory are also allowed. Only the graviton appears to be fundamental to the determination of Zero Point Energy.
