Static Patch Decomposition of Bunch-Davies Vacuum
I am unable to write this as a comment as my reputation isn't quite high enough.
However, Sections 1 and 2 of this paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-th/0212209 discuss this as well as, to a lesser ...

How does Sean Carroll swap the operators and sign on the index when calculating the observed number of particles in the Unruh Effect?
As you wrote, we have the operators
$$
{\hat{b}_k}^{(1)}~=~\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\sinh\left(\frac{\pi\omega}{a}\right)}}\left(\mathrm{e}^{\pi\omega/(2a)}{\hat{c}_k}^{(1)}+\mathrm{e}^{-\pi\omega/(2a)}{{\hat{...
