We examine the Schroedinger picture for a spinless field theory in two-dimensional de Sitter space and construct an ultraviolet finite functional representation for the de Sitter Lie algebra. The one-parameter family of de Sitter vacua is found to be only phase-invariant, except for one value of the parameter where the state is truly invariant. copyright 1987 Academic Press, Inc.
