The concept of a particle is ambiguous in quantum field theory. It is generally agreed that particles depend not only on spacetime, but also on coordinates used to parametrise spacetime points. One of us has in contrast proposed a…
A quantum scalar field in anti de Sitter space is considered in two coordinate systems: static and FRW-like ones. It is shown that quantum vacua corresponding to each of these coordinatizations are not unitary equivalent. A choice of a…
