We analyze the adiabatic regularization scheme to renormalize Proca fields in a four-dimensional Friedmann-Lema\^{i}tre-Robertson-Walker spacetime. The adiabatic method is well established for scalar and spin-$1/2$ fields, but is not yet…
We reexamine the regularization of the two-point function of a scalar field in a Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetime. Adiabatic regularization provides a set of subtraction terms in momentum space that successfully remove…
