Complex poles in the ghost propagator induce persistent interactions at asymptotic times, rendering negative-norm ghost states indistinguishable from superpositions of positive-norm multi-particle states and eliminating free asymptotic ghost particles.
Ghosts lack asymptotic particle interpretation due to interference and different Riemann-sheet pole structures compared to decaying unstable particles, with finite-time effects producing narrower resonances and higher peaks.
QFT in FLRW spacetime yields a running vacuum energy density ρ_vac(H) that unifies mild dynamical dark energy today with H^4 inflation without an inflaton field.
