Signed surface gravity of a de Sitter horizon (${\kappa }_{\mathrm{future}}=1/R,{\kappa }_{\mathrm{past}}=-1/R$)

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 $+1/R$ in ${\nabla }_{k}k=\kappa k$. The ingoing chart gives $-1/R$ on the past branch. Both follow from $d(k^2)=-2\kappa k^{♭}$; the cross-term sign changes the horizon covector. The physical Hawking temperature uses $|\kappa |$, not a signed negative temperature.
