The authors investigate the elliptic interpretation of space-time (identification of antipodal points or vents) in anti-deSitter and in Rindler manifolds and its consequences for QFT. They compare and give a complete description of antipodal identification in space-times with and without event horizons. Antipodal identification relates the field theories on deSitter and on anti-deSitter spaces. In the elliptic Rindler manifold, imaginary time is periodic with period {beta}/2 but the Green functions (for both identifications with and without Conical singularity) have period {beta}. Additional new properties for the Green functions are obtained and the new terms added to the stress tensor computed.
