Dissipation via Particle Production in Scalar Field Theories
D. Boyanovsky, H. J. de Vega, R. Holman +2
The non-equilibrium dynamics of the first stage of the reheating process, that is dissipation via particle production is studied in scalar field theories in the unbroken and in the…
A Note on Thermal Activation
Daniel Boyanovsky, Richard Holman, Da-Shin Lee +1
Thermal activation is mediated by field configurations that correspond to saddle points of the energy functional. The rate of probability flow along the unstable functional directi…
Can Disordered Chiral Condensates Form? A Dynamical Perspective
D. Boyanovsky, H. J. de Vega, R. Holman
We address the issue of whether a region of disordered chiral condensate (DCC), in which the chiral condensate has components along the pion directions, can form. We consider a sys…
