  It is generally known that linear (free) field theories are one of the few
QFT that are exactly soluble. In the Schroedinger functional description of a
scalar field on flat Minkowski spacetime and for flat embeddings, it is known
that the usual Fock representation is described by a Gaussian measure. In this
paper, arbitrary globally hyperbolic space-times and embeddings of the Cauchy
surface are considered. The classical structures relevant for quantization are
used for constructing the Schroedinger representation in the general case. It
is shown that in this case, the measure is also Gaussian. Possible implications
for the program of canonical quantization of midisuperspace models are pointed
out.
