Path integral approach to particle production in a spatially-flat Robertson-Walker spacetime with cosmic scale factors a(t)=ao cosh (at) and a(t)= ao sin (at)
Pair production of free scalar particles in a spatially-flat Robertson-Walker spacetime with cosmic scale factors a(t)=ao cosh(at) and a(t)=ao sin(at), that represent an open and a closed universe, respectively, is investigated. The amplitude of pair production was determined by considering the prop...

Pair production of free scalar particles in a spatially-flat Robertson-Walker spacetime with cosmic scale factors a(t)=ao cosh(at) and a(t)=ao sin(at), that represent an open and a closed universe, respectively, is investigated.

The propagator for each scale factor was evaluated exactly using the Feyman path integral method. From this propagator, the production amplitude and the particle number were determined.
