We present in this paper a covariant quantization of the ``massive'' vector field on de Sitter (dS) space based on analyticity in the complexified pseudo-Riemanian manifold. The correspondence between unitary irreducible representations of the de Sitter group and the field theory on de Sitter space-time is essential in our approach. We introduce the Wightman-G\"arding axiomatic for vector field on dS space. The Hilbert space structure and the unsmeared field operators $K_\alpha(x)$ are also defined. This work is in the direct continuation of previous one concerning the scalar and the spinor cases.

  1. A discrete series gauge field at the late-time boundary of $dS_4$

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    Both Δ=1 and Δ=2 late-time Maxwell operators on planar dS4 furnish the photon unitary discrete series of SO(4,1), which splits into opposite-helicity summands via self-dual field-strength sectors.
