For the future-directed central-time Killing vector field in a static patch of de Sitter spacetime, the outgoing null chart gives the future branch coefficient in . The ingoing chart gives on the past branch. Both follow from ; the cross-term sign changes the horizon covector. The physical Hawking temperature uses , not a signed negative temperature.
