High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

It is shown that the so-called α\alpha-vacua which have been proposed as candidates for states of free quantum fields on de Sitter space have infinitely strong fluctuations for typical observables as averaged renormalized energy momentum tensor.
