Designing Laboratories for Online Instruction using the iOLab Device
Louis Leblond, Melissa Hicks
Scientific laboratories are among the most challenging course components to integrate into online instruction. Available technology restricts the design and nature of experiments a…
On the Decay of Massive Fields in de Sitter
Dileep P. Jatkar, Louis Leblond, Arvind Rajaraman
Interacting massive fields with m > d H/2 in d+1 dimensional de Sitter space are fundamentally unstable. Scalar fields in this mass range can decay to themselves. This process (whi…
Cavitation in holographic sQGP
Aleksandra Klimek, Louis Leblond, Aninda Sinha
We study the possibility of cavitation in the nonconformal N=2^* SU(N) theory which is a mass deformation of N=4 SU(N) Yang-Mills theory. The second order transport coefficients ar…
Resonant Trispectrum and a Dozen More Primordial N-point functions
Louis Leblond, Enrico Pajer
We compute all N-point primordial curvature correlation functions from inflation at tree-level up to N of order ten or more depending on the choice of parameters. This is achieved…
Breakdown of Semiclassical Methods in de Sitter Space
C. P. Burgess, R. Holman, L. Leblond +1
Massless interacting scalar fields in de Sitter space have long been known to experience large fluctuations over length scales larger than Hubble distances. A similar situation ari…
Constructing Infrared Finite Propagators in Inflating Space-time
Jason Kumar, Louis Leblond, Arvind Rajaraman
The usual (Bunch-Davies) Feynman propagator of a massless field is not well defined in an expanding universe due to the presence of infrared divergences. We propose a new propagato…
