Stochastic quantum inflation for a canonical scalar field with linear self-interaction potential
arXiv:1710.02740
Abstract
We apply Starobinsky's formalism of stochastic inflation to the case of a minimally coupled scalar field with linear self-interaction potential. We solve the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation exactly, and obtain analytical expressions for the stochastic expectation values.
