Heisenberg-picture approach to the evolution of the scalar fields in an expanding universe

We present the Heisenberg-picture approach to the quantum evolution of the scalar fields in an expanding FRW universe which incorporates relatively simply the initial quantum conditions such as the vacuum state, the thermal equilibrium state, and the coherent state. We calculate the Wightman function, two-point function, and correlation function of a massive scalar field. We find the quantum evolution of fluctuations of a self-interacting field perturbatively and discuss the renormalization of field equations.

Deformed Algebras from Inverse Schwinger Method

We consider a problem which may be viewed as an inverse one to the Schwinger realization of Lie algebra, and suggest a procedure of deforming the so-obtained algebra. We illustrate the method through a few simple examples extending Schwinger's $su(1,1)$ construction. As results, various q-deformed algebras are (re-)produced as well as their undeformed counterparts. Some extensions of the method are pointed out briefly.
