The FLRW spacetimes can be realized as submanifolds of $mathbb{R}^6$. In this paper we relate the Laplace-Beltrami operator for an homogeneous scalar field $phi$ of $mathbb{R}^6$ to its explicit restriction on FLRW spacetimes. We then make the link between the homogeneous solutions of the equation $square_6 phi = 0$ in $mathbb{R}^6$ and those of the Klein-Gordon equation $(square_{f} - xi R^f + m^2)phi^f=0 $ for the free field $phi^f$ in the FLRW spacetime. We obtain as a byproduct a formula for the Ricci scalar of the FRLW spacetime in terms of the function $f$ defining this spacetime in $mathbb{R}^6$.

We propose a general procedure to construct noncommutative deformations of an algebraic submanifold $M$ of $mathbb{R}^n$, specializing the procedure [G. Fiore, T. Weber, Twisted submanifolds of $mathbb{R}^n$, arXiv:2003.03854] valid for smooth submanifolds. We use the framework of twisted differential geometry of Aschieri et al. (Class. Quantum Grav. 23, 1883-1911, 2006), whereby the commutative pointwise product is replaced by the $star$-product determined by a Drinfeld twist. We actually simultaneously construct noncommutative deformations of all the algebraic submanifolds $M_c$ that are level sets of the $f^a(x)$, where $f^a(x)=0$ are the polynomial equations solved by the points of $M$, employing twists based on the Lie algebra $Xi_t$ of vector fields that are tangent to all the $M_c$. The twisted Cartan calculus is automatically equivariant under twisted $Xi_t$. If we endow $mathbb{R}^n$ with a metric, then twisting and projecting to normal or tangent components commute, projecting the Levi-Civita connection to the twisted $M$ is consistent, and in particular a twisted Gauss theorem holds, provided the twist is based on Killing vector fields. Twisted algebraic quadrics can be characterized in terms of generators and $star$-polynomial relations. We explicitly work out deformations based on abelian or Jordanian twists of all quadrics in $mathbb{R}^3$ except ellipsoids, in particular twisted cylinders embedded in twisted Euclidean $mathbb{R}^3$ and twisted hyperboloids embedded in twisted Minkowski $mathbb{R}^3$ [the latter are twisted (anti-)de Sitter spaces $dS_2$, $AdS_2$].
We propose a general procedure to construct noncommutative deformations of an embedded submanifold $M$ of $mathbb{R}^n$ determined by a set of smooth equations $f^a(x)=0$. We use the framework of Drinfeld twist deformation of differential geometry of [Aschieri et al., Class. Quantum Gravity 23 (2006), 1883]; the commutative pointwise product is replaced by a (generally noncommutative) $star$-product determined by a Drinfeld twist. The twists we employ are based on the Lie algebra $Xi_t$ of vector fields that are tangent to all the submanifolds that are level sets of the $f^a$; the twisted Cartan calculus is automatically equivariant under twisted tangent infinitesimal diffeomorphisms. We can consistently project a connection from the twisted $mathbb{R}^n$ to the twisted $M$ if the twist is based on a suitable Lie subalgebra $mathfrak{e}subsetXi_t$. If we endow $mathbb{R}^n$ with a metric then twisting and projecting to the normal and tangent vector fields commute, and we can project the Levi-Civita connection consistently to the twisted $M$, provided the twist is based on the Lie subalgebra $mathfrak{k}subsetmathfrak{e}$ of the Killing vector fields of the metric; a twisted Gauss theorem follows, in particular. Twisted algebraic manifolds can be characterized in terms of generators and polynomial relations. We present in some detail twisted cylinders embedded in twisted Euclidean $mathbb{R}^3$ and twisted hyperboloids embedded in twisted Minkowski $mathbb{R}^3$ [these are twisted (anti-)de Sitter spaces $dS_2,AdS_2$].
We consider the problem of essential self-adjointness of the spatial part of the Klein-Gordon operator in stationary spacetimes. This operator is shown to be a Laplace-Beltrami type operator plus a potential. In globally hyperbolic spacetimes, essential selfadjointness is proven assuming smoothness of the metric components and semi-boundedness of the potential. This extends a recent result for static spacetimes to the stationary case. Furthermore, we generalize the results to certain non-globally hyperbolic spacetimes.
We discuss the Kaluza-Klein reduction of spaces with (anti-)self-dual Weyl tensor and point out the emergence of the Einstein-Weyl equations for the reduction from four to three dimensions. As a byproduct we get a simple expression for the gravitational instanton density in terms of the Kaluza-Klein functions.
The three-dimensional Klein-Gordon oscillator is shown to exhibit an algebraic structure known from supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The supersymmetry is found to be unbroken with a vanishing Witten index, and it is utilized to derive the spectral properties of the Klein-Gordon oscillator, which is closely related to that of the non-relativistic harmonic oscillator in three dimensions. Supersymmetry also enables us to derive a closed-form expression for the energy-dependent Greens function.
