We consider the Klein-Gordon equation ( m≧0) on the double Schwarzschild wedge of the Kruskal spacetime, and construct the Hartle-Hawking state ω H as a thermal state relative to the Boulware quantization. We prove that, on the double wedge, ω H is a pure state, and in the corresponding representation, the left- and right-wedge C* algebras each have the Reeh-Schlieder property, while the corresponding von-Neumann algebras are type III 1 factors which are dual to (i.e. commutants of) each other. We discuss the extent to which these properties may generalize to non-quasi-free field theories. Pursuing the Rindler-Fulling-Unruh analogy with the Klein-Gordon equation ( m>0) in ( d-dimensional) flat spacetime, we establish an explicit formula for the Minkowski vacuum on a spacelike double wedge as a thermal state relative to the Fulling quantization. We also treat the case d=2, m=0 of this formula since this is essential input for a paper with Dimock on scattering theory for the quantum Klein-Gordon equation on the Schwarzschild metric.
