  For Klein-Gordon fields, it is well known that there exist an infinite number
of nonequivalent Fock representations of the canonical commutation relations
and, therefore, of inequivalent quantum theories. A context in which this kind
of ambiguities arises and prevents the derivation of robust results is, e.g.,
in the quantum analysis of cosmological perturbations. In these situations,
typically, a suitable scaling of the field by a time dependent function leads
to a description in an auxiliary static background, though the nonstationarity
still shows up in a time dependent mass. For such a field description, and
assuming the compactness of the spatial sections, we recently proved in three
or less spatial dimensions that the criteria of a natural implementation of the
spatial symmetries and of a unitary time evolution are able to select a unique
class of unitarily equivalent vacua, and hence of Fock representations. In this
work, we succeed to extend our uniqueness result to the consideration of all
possible field descriptions that can be reached by a time dependent canonical
transformation which, in particular, involves a scaling of the field by a
function of time. This kind of canonical transformations modify the dynamics of
the system and introduce a further ambiguity in its quantum description,
exceeding the choice of a Fock representation. Remarkably, for any compact
spatial manifold in less than four dimensions, we show that our criteria
eliminate any possible nontrivial scaling of the field other than that leading
to the description in an auxiliary static background. Besides, we show that
either no time dependent redefinition of the field momentum is allowed or, if
this may happen, the redefinition does not introduce any Fock representation
that cannot be obtained by a unitary transformation.
