Abstract
Quantum field theory of real massless scalar field in two-dimensional de Sitter space-time is considered. The scalar product in the subspace of pure Coulomb states is decomposed into irreducible unitary represe ntations of the three-dimensional proper ortochronous Lorentz group. I t is shown that the Coulomb field contains representations from the ma in series if the ''fine structure constant'' (defined in the text) alp ha > 1. If 0 < alpha < 1, there is additionally a representation from the supplementary series. The eigenvalue of the Casimir operator for t his representation is 1/4alpha(2-alpha).
