A Brief Editorial on de Sitter Radiation via Tunneling
Abstract
Description
Very recently (by which we mean two days ago), Y. Sekiwa submitted a paper [arXiv:0802.3266] that dismisses some previous calculations of the de Sitter radiative temperature. Significantly, these calculations employed the (so-called) tunneling methodology, which the stated author then goes on to correspondingly revise. After briefly commenting on what the tunneling framework can be claimed to say and what it cannot, we respond to the author's criticisms and proposed revision.
