Two kinds of complex scalar fields are investigated here — conformally invariant and massless minimally coupled. By tracing out the degrees of freedom corresponding to the scalar, we construct the reduced density matrix for the two detectors, whose eigenvalues characterise transition probabilities between the energy levels of the detectors. We have computed the negativity, quantifying the degree of entanglement generated at late times between the two detectors. The similarities and differences of these results between the aforementioned two kinds of scalar fields have been discussed.

The key element of the proposed construction is the complete gauge symmetry of these additional equations. The unfree variation of the trajectories reduces to the infinitesimal gauge symmetry transformation of the equations restricting the trajectories. We explicitly derive the equations that follow from the requirement that this gauge variation of the action vanishes. The system of equations for conditional extrema is not a Lagrangian system as such, but it admits an equivalent Hamiltonian formulation with a non-canonical Poisson bracket. The bracket is degenerate, in general. Alternatively, the equations restricting the dynamics could be added to the action with Lagrange multipliers with unrestricted variation of the original variables. In this case, we would arrive at the Lagrangian equations for the original variables involving Lagrange multipliers and for Lagrange multipliers themselves. In general, these two methods are not equivalent because the multipliers can bring extra degrees of freedom compared to the case of equations derived by unfree variation of the action. We illustrate the general method with two examples. The first example is a particle in a central field with varying trajectories restricted by the equation of conservation of angular momentum.
