The authors' main claim It is shown that the two representations are different by an anomalous Jacobian factor from each other and also that the factor has a direct relationship to an uncancellation factor of the contributions from the Faddeev-Popov ghost and the unphysical part of the gauge field to the covariant one-loop partition function.

The Polyakov measure for the Abelian gauge field is considered in the Robertson-Walker spacetimes. The measure is concretely represented by adopting two kind of decompositions of the gauge field degrees of freedom which are most familiarly used in the covariant and canonical path integrals respectively. It is shown that the two representations are different by an anomalous Jacobian factor from each other and also that the factor has a direct relationship to an uncancellation factor of the contributions from the Faddeev-Popov ghost and the unphysical part of the gauge field to the covariant one-loop partition function.

The compatibility of the manifestly covariant path integral formalism with the manifestly unitary canonical formalism has been a source of confusion [ref] , ultimately resolved in [ref] by arguing the form of the canonical partition function.

Finally, it would be interesting to investigate whether our proposal for the physical states in gauge theory and perturbative gravity gives any insight into the discrepancy between the unitary and covariant formulations of these theories in de Sitter spacetime, or in curved spacetime in general [ref] .
