Quantum theory of fermion production after inflation
J. Berges, D. Gelfand, J. Pruschke
We show that quantum effects dramatically enhance the production of fermions following preheating after inflation in the early Universe in the presence of high excitations of boson…

Instability-induced fermion production in quantum field theory
J. Berges, J. Pruschke, A. Rothkopf
Nonequilibrium instabilities are known to lead to exponential amplification of boson occupation numbers for low momentum modes on time scales much shorter than the asymptotic therm…
