Abstract
The problem of determining the physically relevant states acquires a new dimension in curved spacetime where there is, in general, no natural definition of a vacuum state. It is argued that there is a unique local quasiequivalence class of physically relevant states and it is shown how this class can be specified for the free Klein-Gordon field on a Robertson-Walker spacetime by using the concept of an adiabatic vacuum state. Any two adiabatic vacuum states of order two are locally quasiequivalent.
