We introduce a simple coordinate system covering half of de Sitter space. The new coordinates have several attractive properties: the time direction is a Killing vector, the metric is smooth at the horizon, and constant-time slices are just flat Euclidean space. We demonstrate the usefulness of the coordinates by calculating the rate at which particles tunnel across the horizon. When self-gravitation is taken into account, the resulting tunneling rate is only approximately thermal. The effective temperature decreases through the emission of radiation.

  1. Semilinear wave equations in homothetic hyperboloidal coordinates and tail decay

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Homothetic hyperboloidal coordinates give semilinear wave tails the same exponential decay rate at every compactified radius, removing the late-time resolution bottleneck.
