abstract

We consider the quantization of the massless minimally coupled scalar field in de Sitter spacetime. The no-boundary Euclidean prescription naturally picks out the de Sitter invariant vacuum state of Kirsten and Garriga. We extend Strominger's dS/CFT correspondence to this case which allows us to interpret the massless field in terms of a Euclidean CFT. The extension is non-trivial and requires careful treatment of the zero mode. Since the graviton is massless, this work may also be considered a step towards a theory of gravity in de Sitter space.

Axions on de Sitter space

hep-th · 2026-06-27 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Quantization of axions on dS_D yields Hilbert space H = L^2(S^1) ⊗ F with zero-mode U(1) charge, producing non-dS-invariant charged sectors and Hadamard Wightman functions that become asymptotically invariant.

A Compact Story of Positivity in de Sitter

hep-th · 2025-08-11 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Compares two methods to resolve disagreements and prove positivity of anomalous dimensions for principal series fields coupled to compact scalar operators in de Sitter space.
