Nonequilibrium dynamics of quantum fields in inflationary cosmology
Stephen A. Ramsey
The nonequilibrium dynamics of quantum fields is studied in inflationary cosmology, with particular emphasis on applications to the problem of post-inflation reheating. The Schwing…

One-loop theory in Robertson-Walker spacetimes: adiabatic regularization and analytic approximation
Carmen Molina-Paris, Paul R. Anderson, Stephen A. Ramsey
The renormalization of a scalar field theory with a quartic self-coupling (a theory) via adiabatic regularization in a general Robertson-Walker spacetime is discussed. The a…

Defect Formation and Critical Dynamics in the Early Universe
G. J. Stephens, E. A. Calzetta, B. L. Hu +1
We study the nonequilibrium dynamics leading to the formation of topological defects in a symmetry-breaking phase transition of a quantum scalar field with λΦ^4 self-interaction in…
