Graviton one-loop effective action and inflationary dynamics
Tomas Janssen, Shun-Pei Miao, Tomislav Prokopec
We consider the one-loop effective action due to gravitons in a FLRW background with constant epsilon=-(dH/dt)/H^2. By expanding around epsilon=0 (corresponding to an expansion aro…
A Simple Operator Check of the Effective Fermion Mode Function during Inflation
Shun-Pei Miao, R. P. Woodard
We present a relatively simple operator formalism which reproduces the leading infrared logarithm of the one loop quantum gravitational correction to the fermion mode function on a…
The Quantum-Corrected Fermion Mode Function during Inflation
Shun-Pei Miao
My project computed the one loop fermion self-energy for massless Dirac + Einstein in the presence of a locally de Sitter background. I employed dimensional regularization and obta…
Fermion Self-Energy during Inflation
R. P. Woodard
I report on work done with Tomislav Prokopec (Heidelberg, CERN). We computed the one loop self-energy of a massless fermion during inflation. When the fermion is free it experience…
