Abstract: (IOP)
Exact solutions to the scalar wave equation are given on a de Sitter (dS) and anti-de Sitter (AdS) background with static metric, for arbitrary dimensions d. In particular in the case of dS space the boundary conditions at the horizon are in agreement with the Hawking effect (1975) and the solutions form a complete set of physical modes.
