Abstract
In this paper, we compute the effective action of both a scalar field and a Dirac spinor field in the global de Sitter space of any dimension d using the in-/out-state formalism. We show that there is particle production in even dimensions for both scalar field and spinor field. The in-out vacuum amplitude {mathcal{Z}}_{mathrm{in}/mathrm{out}} is divergent at late times. By using dimensional regularization, we extract the finite part of log {mathcal{Z}}_{mathrm{in}/mathrm{out}} for d even and the logarithmically divergent part of log {mathcal{Z}}_{mathrm{in}/mathrm{out}} for d odd. We also find that the regularized in-out vacuum amplitude equals the ratio of determinants associated with different quantizations in AdSd upon the identification of certain parameters in the two theories.
