• Title: A Generally Covariant Theory of Quantized Real Klein-Gordon Field in de Sitter Spacetime
• Authors: Sze-Shiang Feng
• Abstract summary: We first present a Hamiltonian structure, then quantize the field following the standard approach. For the free field, the time-dependent quantized Hamiltonian is diagonalized by Bogliubov transformation. It is concluded that particle states, such as vacuum states in particular are time-dependent and vacuum states at one time evolves into non-vacuum states at later times.

• Abstract: We propose in this paper a quantization scheme for real Klein-Gordon field in de Sitter spacetime. Our scheme is generally covariant with the help of vierbein, which is necessary usually for spinor field in curved spacetime. We first present a Hamiltonian structure, then quantize the field following the standard approach. For the free field, the time-dependent quantized Hamiltonian is diagonalized by Bogliubov transformation and the eigen-states at each instant are interpreted as the observed particle states at that instant. The interpretation is supported by the known cosmological red-shift formula and the on-shell condition of 4-momentum for a free field. Though the mathematics is carried out in term of conformal coordinates for the sake of convenience, the whole theory can be transformed into any other coordinates based on general covariance. It is concluded that particle states, such as vacuum states in particular are time-dependent and vacuum states at one time evolves into non-vacuum states at later times. Formalism of perturbational is provided with an extended Dirac picture.

  We extend the time choice of the Legendre transform to a dynamical variable. A canonical-like quantization of the formalism is then presented in which the fields satisfy spacetime commutation relations. The problem of establishing a correspondence between the new noncausal framework and conventional QM is solved through a generalization of spacelike correlators to spacetime.

  We build an explicit quantum operator that can map states describing a quantum field on a superposition of spacetimes to states representing a quantum field with a superposition of masses on a Minkowski background. It can be used to import the phenomenon of particle production in curved spacetime to its conformally equivalent counterpart, thus revealing new features in modified Minkowski spacetime.
