Correspondence between Minkowski and de Sitter Quantum Field Theory

In this letter we show that the ``preferred'' Klein-Gordon Quantum Field Theories (QFT's) on a d-dimensional de Sitter spacetime can be obtained from a Klein-Gordon QFT on a (d+1)-dimensional ``ambient'' Minkowski spacetime satisfying the spectral condition and, conversely, that a Klein-Gordon QFT on a (d+1)-dimensional ``ambient'' Minkowski spacetime satisfying the spectral condition can be obtained as superposition of d-dimensional de Sitter Klein-Gordon fields in the preferred vacuum. These results establish a correspondence between QFT's living on manifolds having different dimensions. The method exposed here can be applied to study other situations and notably QFT on Anti de Sitter spacetime.

Quantized Temperatures Spectra in Curved Spacetimes

We consider the thermal properties of a scalar field theory on curved spacetimes. In particular, we argue for the existence in the de Sitter, Kruskal and Rindler manifolds of a discrete spectrum of allowed temperatures (the odd multiples of a fundamental one). For each temperature we give an explicit construction of the relative two point function in terms of the lowest temperature one. These results are actually valid for a wider class of static metrics with bifurcate Killing horizons, originally studied by Sewell. Some comments on the interpretation of our results are given.
