Abstract
The familiar rule which, in Minkowski space-time, forbids the decay of a particle into heavier products, does not hold in de Sitter space-time. We study, in first order of perturbation theory, the decay of a particle of the "principal series" and show that it may decay into two particles of any of the "principal" or "complementary" series (with suitable interaction terms). Spectral conditions reappear in the decay of a "complementary" particle: but its lifetime is 0.
