Quantum Scalar Field in D-dimensional de Sitter Spacetimes

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this work we investigate the quantum theory of scalar fields propagating in a D−D-dimensional de Sitter spacetime. The method of dynamic invariants is used to obtain the solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The quantum behavior of the scalar field in this background is analyzed, and the results generalize previous ones found in the literature. We point that the Bunch-Davies thermal bath depends on the choice of DD and the conformal parameter ξξ. This is important in extra dimension physics, as in the Randall-Sundrum model.
