In non-commutative field theories conventional wisdom is that the unitarity is non-compatible with the perturbation analysis when time is involved in the non-commutative coordinates. However, as suggested by Bahns et.al. recently, the root…
The Gowdy spacetimes are vacuum solutions of Einstein's equations with two commuting Killing vectors having compact spacelike orbits with T^3, S^2xS^1 or S^3 topology. In the case of T^3 topology, Kichenassamy and Rendall have found a…
The Fock quantization of free fields propagating in cosmological backgrounds is in general not unambiguously defined due to the non-stationarity of the spacetime. For the case of a scalar field in cosmological scenarios it is known that the…
