Thermal and Dynamical Particle Creation in a Curved Geometry

Abstract

A generalization of ``Termo Field Dynamics'' to a curved geometry is proposed. In particular a neutral scalar field minimally coupled to gravity is considered as matter content in a Robertson-Walker metric. A non linear amplification in the particle creation is obtained, due to the altogether action of thermal and geometric effects. As a consequence the frequencies in the system look like red shifted with respect to the case where the thermal creation is not taken into account.
