Thermal effects on slow-roll dynamics
Gert Aarts, Anders Tranberg
A description of the transition from the inflationary epoch to radiation domination requires the understanding of quantum fields out of thermal equilibrium, particle creation and t…
Transport and spectral functions in high-temperature QCD
Gert Aarts
The current status of transport coefficients in relativistic field theories at high temperature is reviewed. I contrast weak coupling results obtained using kinetic theory/diagramm…
Charmonium at high temperature in two-flavor QCD
Gert Aarts, Chris Allton, Mehmet Bugrahan Oktay +2
We compute charmonium spectral functions in 2-flavor QCD on anisotropic lattices using the maximum entropy method. Our results suggest that the S-waves (J/psi and eta_c) survive up…
Particle creation and warm inflation
Gert Aarts, Anders Tranberg
During cosmological inflation, it has been suggested that fields coupled to the inflaton can be excited by the slow-rolling inflaton into a quasi-stable non-vacuum state. Within th…
