Abstract

The canonical evolution and symmetry generators are exhibited for a Klein-Gordon (KG) system which has been partitioned by an accelerated coordinate frame into a pair of subsystems. This partitioning of the KG system is conveyed to the canonical generators by the eigenfunction property of the Minkowski Bessel (MB) modes. In terms of the MB degrees of freedom, which are unitarily related to those of the Minkowski plane waves, a near complete diagonalization of these generators can be realized.
