Abstract:
A formulation of the equivalence principle in quantum field theory is introduced. The quantum equivalence principle yields implementable Bogolyubov transformations. In this way we find a theory for a scalar field in curved spaceâtime where particle creation is finite for every value of the coupling constant. In the particular case of conformal coupling the initial conditions of positive and negative frequency wave functions coincide with the ones of a first order WKB approximation. The coefficients of the Bogolyubov transformations are exactly computed and the created energy density is also finite. © 1981, American Institute of Physics. All rights reserved.

- Castagnino, M., These dâEtat, Université de Paris (1974), Part II to be published in Math. Notae; We shall use the work âimplementableâ in the large sense. Strictly speaking the Bogolyubov transformation would be unitarily implementable if the k spectrum would be discrete as in the case of a compact spatial geometry (or a normalization of the base functions in a box). As the present theory can be generalized to this kind of geometry we keep the word âimplementableâ to avoid the invention of a new one
- Of course in this way we only have a first approximation of the geodesic distance (measured along the fourâdimensional manyâfold geodesic, not along the Cauchy surface geodesic). Therefore all the following formulas must be considered only as a first approximation. We shall give the exact theory elsewhere
