Rotation Operator vs Particle Creation in a Curved Space Time

arXiv:hep-th/9610117

Abstract

Taking into account a neutral massive scalar field minimally coupled to gravity, in a Robertson-Walker metric, it is shown that when the final state is connected with the initial one by means of a Bogoliubov transformation, which does not include the single-mode rotation operator, the mean value of created particles is conserved. When the rotation operator is considered, it is still possible to use the approach of single-mode squeezed operators and get the entropy as the logarithm of the created particles.
