Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to present some qualitative considerations about the type of solutions of the semiclassical Einstein equations (s.E.e.). These equations [1], which rule the dynamic of the space-time metric, have a source term that is the renormalized expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor. The computation of this last object as a function of the metric is a rather difficult task that has been performed only in a few cases.
