This generalizes the equivalence found for scalar fields, which is here recovered in a different way. We also argue that the coincidence limit of the DeWitt-Schwinger proper time expansion of the two-point function agrees exactly with the analogous expansion defined by the adiabatic regularization method at any order (for both scalar and spin-1/2 fields). We also illustrate the power of the adiabatic method to compute higher order DeWitt coefficients in Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker Universes.", optnote="WOS:000350966000005", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=2150), last updated on Thu, 09 Apr 2015 15:40:13 +0000", issn="1550-7998", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.91.064031", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.7570", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.91.064031", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1412.7570", language="English" }
