Unequal time correlators of stochastic scalar fields in de Sitter space
arXiv:1912.05358 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.101.045015
Abstract
The quantum fluctuations of a test scalar field on superhorizon scale in de Sitter spacetime can be described by an effective one-dimensional stochastic theory corresponding to a particular class of nonequilibrium dynamical systems known as the model A. Using the formulation of the latter in terms of a supersymmetric field theory, we compute various unequal-time correlators at large (superhorizon) time separations and compare with existing quantum field theory computation. This includes perturbative calculations, pushed here up to three-loop order, and a nonperturbative expansion at next-to-leading order. Exploiting the supersymmetry of the stochastic theory, we also derive a spectral representation of the field correlators and a fluctuation-dissipation relation for the infrared modes of the scalar field in de Sitter spacetime.
