Abstract
On the basis of the generalized invariant formulation, the invariant-related
unitary transformation method is used to study the evolution of a quantum
Dirac field in Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spatially flat space-times. We
first solve the functional Schrödinger equation for a free Dirac field and
obtain the exact solutions. We then investigate the way of extending the
method to treat the case in which there is an interaction between the Dirac
field and a scalar field.
