"Massive" Rarita-Schwinger field in de Sitter space
Hamed Pejhan, Mohammad Enayati, Jean-Pierre Gazeau +1
We present a covariant quantization of the "massive" spin- Rarita-Schwinger field in de Sitter (dS) spacetime. The dS group representation theory and its Wigner inte…
Gupta-Bleuler quantization for linearized gravity in de Sitter spacetime
Hamed Pejhan, Mohammad Enayati, Jean-Pierre Gazeau +1
In a recent Letter, we have pointed out that the linearized Einstein gravity in de Sitter (dS) spacetime besides the spacetime symmetries generated by the Killing vectors and the e…
`Hidden' symmetry of linearized gravity in de Sitter space
Hamed Pejhan, Surena Rahbardehghan, Mohammad Enayati +2
We demonstrate that the linearized Einstein gravity in de Sitter (dS) spacetime besides the evident symmetries also possesses the additional (local) symmetry $h_{μν}\rightarrow h_{…
A small non-vanishing cosmological constant from the Krein-Gupta-Bleuler vacuum
Hamed Pejhan, Kazuharu Bamba, Mohammad Enayati +1
We point out a potential relevance between the Krein-Gupta-Bleuler (KGB) vacuum leading to a fully covariant quantum field theory for gravity in de Sitter (dS) spacetime and the ob…
"Massless" spin-2 field in de Sitter space
Hamed Pejhan, Kazuharu Bamba, Surena Rahbardehghan +1
In this paper, admitting a de Sitter (dS)-invariant vacuum in an indefinite inner product space, we present a Gupta-Bleuler type setting for causal and full dS-covariant quantizati…
