Abstract: We set up a general framework for Calder'on projectors (and their generalization to non-compact manifolds), associated with complex Laplacians e.g. obtained by Wick rotation of a Lorentzian metric. In the analytic case, we use this to show that the Laplacian's Green's functions have analytic continuations whose boundary values are two-point functions of analytic Hadamard states. The result does not require the metric to be stationary. As an aside, we describe how thermal states are obtained as a special case of this construction if the coefficients are time-independent.
