Non-Equilibrium Evolution of Scalar Fields in FRW Cosmologies I
D. Boyanovsky, H. J. de Vega, R. Holman
We derive the effective equations for the out of equilibrium time evolution of the order parameter and the fluctuations of a scalar field theory in spatially flat FRW cosmologies.T…
Dynamics of Cosmological Phase Transitions
D. Boyanovsky, H. J. de Vega, R. Holman
The dynamics of typical phase transitions is studied out of equilibrium in weakly coupled inflaton-type scalar field theories in Minkowski space. The shortcomings of the effective…
Quantum Statistical Metastability Revisited
D. Boyanovsky, R. Holman, D. -S. Lee +2
We calculate the decay rate for a state prepared in a thermal density matrix centered on a metastable ground state. We find a rate that is intrinsically time {\it dependent}, as op…
Dynamics of Phase Transitions Induced by a Heat Bath
Da-Shin Lee, Daniel Boyanovsky
We study the non-equilibrium dynamics of a symmetry restoring phase transition in a scalar field theory, the ``system'', linearly coupled to another scalar field taken as a ``heat…
