Abstract: We apply Nelson's technique of constructing Euclidean fields to the case of classical scalar fields on curved spaces. It is shown how to construct a transfer matrix and, for a class of metrics, the basic spectral properties of its generator are investigated. An application concerning decoupling of non-convex disjoint region is given.
