Abstract:
A quantized scalar field is considered in an open Friedmann universe wich a Lorentz invariant
spatial part. Since the Friedmann universe is nomstationary, the energy of a free field is a not
conserved and the Hamiltonian is not diagonal in the creation and annihilation operators. The
Hamiltonian is diagonaliized by means of a set of ηη-dependent representations (ηη is the time) of the commutation relations with Lorentz invariant vacuum states. The ηη-wacuum mean value of the operator of the number density of particles corresponding to the η0η0 representation (η>η0η>η0) is caleulated. The question of ηη a quasielassieal limit is discussed and a transition is made to flat space-time.
