An observer moving along a timelike geo<strong>de</strong>sic sees a thermalbath of particles when the scalar field is in the vacuum state.<strong>de</strong> <strong>Sitter</strong> <strong>space</strong> is naturally associated with a temperature.One way to see this:Consi<strong>de</strong>r an observer sitting in south pole. In this caseP(X,X ′ ) = −cosh t − t′l= − cosh τ lOn the other h<strong>and</strong> the Green function is a function of PG(P(X,Y )) = G(cosh τ l )The Green function is periodic in imaginary time un<strong>de</strong>r τ →τ + 2πil <strong>and</strong> therefore is thermal Green function <strong>and</strong> thetemperature in given by the inverse of the periodT dS = 12πlOne can also associate entropy which is the same as blackhole <strong>and</strong> is given byS = A4Gwhere A is the area of the horizon.28
