我们研究了de Sitter空间中标量场可能的真空态,主要集中在那些态(1)在de Sitter群O(1,4)下不变或(2)在它的极大子群E(3)下不变。对于大质量场,存在一个复参数族的de Sitter不变态,它包括了作为特例的‘’欧几里德‘’真空态。我们证明了这些态是通过频率无关的Bogoliubov变换从欧几里得真空中产生的,并得到了对称、反对称和Feynman函数的公式。在无质量最小耦合情况下,我们证明了不存在de Sitter不变的Fock真空态。然而,人们可以找到E(3)不变的Fock态。这些态包括束-戴维斯真空态和奥特威尔-纳吉米真空态作为特例。
We examine possible vacuum states for scalar fields in de Sitter space, concentrating on those states (1) invariant under the de Sitter group O (1, 4) or (2) invariant under one of its maximal subgroups E (3). For massive fields there is a one-complex-parameter family of de Sitter-invariant states, which includes the ‘‘Euclidean’’vacuum state as a special case. We show these states are generated from the Euclidean vacuum by a frequency-independent Bogoliubov transformation, and obtain formulas for the symmetric, antisymmetric, and Feynman functions. In the massless minimally coupled case we prove that there exists no de Sitter-invariant Fock vacuum state. However one can find Fock states which are E (3) invariant. These states include the Bunch-Davies and Ottewill-Najmi vacua as special cases.
