We describe a few unexpected features of de Sitter quantum field theory (QFT) that have no Minkowskian counterparts. These phenomena show that even when the cosmological constant is tiny a Minkowskian way of fast thinking about de Sitter can lead to mistakes and that de Sitter QFT is essentially different from standard relativistic (Minkowskian) QFT.

We examine the solutions of the semilinear wave equation, and, in particular, of the [Formula: see text] model of quantum field theory in the curved spacetime. More exactly, for [Formula: see text] we prove that the solution of the massless self-interacting scalar field equation in the Einstein–de Sitter universe has finite lifespan.

In this paper we propose a "second quantization" scheme especially suitable for dealing with nontrivial, highly symmetric phase spaces, implemented within a more general group approach to quantization, which recovers the standard quantum field theory (QFT) for ordinary relativistic linear fields. We emphasize, among its main virtues, greater suitability in characterizing vacuum states in a QFT on a highly symmetric curved space–time and the absence of the usual requirement of global hyperbolicity. This can be achieved in the special case of the Anti-de Sitter universe, on which we explicitly construct a QFT.

The Ryu–Takayanagi formula provides the entanglement entropy of quantum field theory as an area of the minimal surface (Ryu–Takayanagi surface) in a corresponding gravity theory. There are some attempts to understand the formula as a flow rather than as a surface. In this paper, we consider null rays emitted from the AdS boundary and construct a flow representing the causal holographic information. We present a sufficient and necessary condition that the causal information surface coincides with Ryu–Takayanagi surface. In particular, we show that, in spherical symmetric static spacetimes with a negative cosmological constant, wave fronts of null geodesics from a point on the AdS boundary become extremal surfaces and therefore they can be regarded as the Ryu–Takayanagi surfaces. In addition, from the viewpoint of flow, we propose a wave optical formula to calculate the causal holographic information.
