Dimock, J; Kay, B S

An alternate treatment of the results of paper I is given. As in that paper, the Unruh boundary condition is formulated, the Unruh vacuum is defined as a state satisfying this boundary condition and the thermal character of the state is exhibited. The present work differs in that it uses the double-wedge region of the Kruskal manifold and defines and uses a precise notion of distinguished modes.
