Abstract: (arXiv)
In this article, we quantize the Maxwell ('massless spin one') de Sitter field in a conformally invariant gauge. This quantization is invariant under the SO group and consequently under the de Sitter group. We obtain a new de Sitter invariant two-points function which is very simple. Our method relies on the one hand, on a geometrical point of view which uses the realization of Minkowski, de Sitter and anti-de Sitter spaces as intersections of the null cone in \setR^6 and a moving plane, and on the other hand, on a canonical quantization scheme of the Gupta-Bleuler type.- 98.80.Jk
