18. See also L. Parker Phys. Rev. 183, 1057 (1969), where further results of were presented, including the connection between conformal invariance and particle creation. The "gravitons" referred to there were quanta satisfying the conformally invariant spin-2 quantized field equation, as one can see from their given field equations. The reader should note that the gravitons obtained by linearizing the Einstein gravitational field equation are not conformally invariant. These Einstein gravitons are created in exactly the same way as the minimally coupled scalar particles that were shown to be created in. PHRVAO 0031-899X 10.1103/PhysRev.183.1057
