Abstract: Quantum fields are investigated in the (2+1)-open-universes with non-trivial topologies by the method of images. The universes are locally de Sitter spacetime and anti-de Sitter spacetime. In the present article we study spacetimes whose spatial topologies are a torus with a cusp and a sphere with three cusps as a step toward the more general case. A quantum energy momentum tensor is obtained by the point stripping method. Though the cusps are no singularities, the latter cusps cause the divergence of the quantum field. This suggests that only the latter cusps are quantum mechanically unstable. Of course at the singularity of the background spacetime the quantum field diverges. Also the possibility of the divergence of topological effect by a negative spatial curvature is discussed. Since the volume of the negatively curved space is larger than that of the flat space, one see so many images of a single source by the non-trivial topology. It is confirmed that this divergence does not appear in our models of topologies. The results will be applicable to the case of three dimensional multi black holecite{BR}.
