Massive fermion particle production in de Sitter universe: Ambient space approach

Abstract

In this paper, we study the massive spin-½ particle creation in de Sitter (dS) space where the related fields are written in (4+1)-dimensional bulk or the so-called ambient space approach. This approach mimics the flat space quantum field theory (QFT) and the field operators are defined globally on dS space. The main purpose of this study is defining the |in〉 and |out〉 modes for the proposed quantum field which has been written in terms of the dS plane wave in the 4+1 dimensions. We compute, via the Bogoliubov coefficients, the rate of particle creation in dS universe.
