Trace anomaly of dilaton-coupled scalars in two dimensions

Abstract
Conformal scalar fields coupled to the dilaton appear naturally in two-dimensional models of black hole evaporation. We show that their trace anomaly is (1/24π)[R6(φ)22φ]. It follows that a Russo-Susskind-Thorlacius–type counterterm appears naturally in the one-loop effective action.
