摘要：

A basic problem in quantizing a field in curved space is the decomposition of the classical modes in Positive and negative frequency. The decomposition is equivalent to a choice of a complex structure in the space of classical solutions. In our construction the real tunneling geometries provide the link between this complex structure and analytic properties of the classical solutions in a riemannian section of space. This is related to the Osterwalder-Schrader approach to euclidean field theory.
