    • Although the time dependence of the oscillator frequencies makes it impossible to define a physical state | 0 > which is annihilated by the scrA ( k ; t ) for all times, we do expect the high-k modes to behave as in Minkowski space. More precisely, we should be able to define our vacuum state such that scrA (k; t ) | 0 > approx 0 for a-1k >>ȧ/ a. This condition on k ensures that the oscillator's frequency is large compared to the expansion rate, or equivalently, that the frequency varies adiabatically. For this range of k, we can sensibly define a state containing n particles of momentum k by operating on a vacuum state PSI n times with scrAdag(k): PSInapp Hn[ α (k) ] PSI, where Hn[ α ] denotes the Hermite polynomial of order n in α (k).

    • Strictly speaking, de Sitter space belongs to that class of spacetimes with no static in region, and hence without a well-defined | 0 , in > . However, as was shown in Sec. III, when working in Robertson-Walker flat coordinates, for fixed k, the space becomes quasi-Minkowski in the limit t -> - inf. Hence, a unique choice of positive and negative frequencies can be made, mode by mode, in the asymptotic past, thus defining an effective in a vacuum.
