Mode decomposition and Fourier analysis of physical fields in homogeneous cosmology

In this work the methods of mode decomposition and Fourier analysis of quantum fields on curved spacetimes previously available mainly for the scalar fields on Friedman-Robertson-Walker spacetimes are extended to arbitrary vector fields on general spatially homogeneous spacetimes. This is done by developing a rigorous unified framework which incorporates mode decomposition, harmonic analysis and Fourier analysis. Explicit constructions are performed for a variety of situations arising in homogeneous cosmology. A number of results concerning classical and quantum fields known for very restricted situations are generalized to cover almost all cosmological models.
