✦ Synopsis


With the use of the Newman-Penrose spin coefficients, the radial part of the electrom equation in the de Sitter-Schwarzschild space is separated, and the transmission coefftcient is calculated when the metric is specialized to the de Sitter case. Two different solutions of the radial equation are given, In the first one, the wavenumber corresponds to the flat space value; i.e., k* = w2 -m', where UJ is the energy and m is the rest mass of the particle. In this case, when w s m, the transmission coefficient r becomes zero whereas, when W-S m, it is finite and is zero only for the lowest angular momentum state (I= )). In the second solution, k* is found to involve the angular momentum. r in this case, exhibits a resonance phenomenon and becomes zero only for certain values of the energy or of the mass; one instance when r becomes zero is when w + m, I= f and k2 = m2/4. When m = 0, both expressions for r correspond to the value for the massless neutrino.

A scalar Higgs field theory in de Sitter space-time has been investigated using the real time formulation of Semenoff and Weiss. We calculate the two-point function at late times and use it to obtain a general expression for the amplitude of fluctuation in energy density on scales which come out of
