We develop a technique relating scalar fields with different masses in different conformally flat spacetimes. We apply this technique to the case of FRW spacetimes, with [Formula: see text], and discuss several examples. We also study various energy conditions and discuss how they constrain the spacetimes related by this technique. We calculate the two-point scalar correlator in the radiation-dominated universe with a hyperbolic spatial section from the one in the Milne universe using the above mapping. Finally, we consider trace anomaly and renormalized stress tensor for conformally flat spacetimes, especially Milne and radiation-dominated universe (with [Formula: see text]) using the transformation.
