Quantum kinetics and thermalization in a particle bath model
S. M. Alamoudi, D. Boyanovsky, H. J. de Vega
We study the dynamics of relaxation and thermalization in an exactly solvable model of a particle interacting with a harmonic oscillator bath. Our goal is to understand the effects…

Statics and Dynamics of an Interface in a Temperature Gradient
D. Boyanovsky, D. Jasnow, J. Llambias +1
The response and nonconserved dynamics of a two-phase interface in the presence of a temperature gradient oriented normally to the interface are considered. Two types of boundary c…

Thermal Activation Rates in the Chirally Asymmetric Gross-Neveu Model
D. Boyanovsky, David E. Brahm, R. Holman +1
We address the problem of how to incorporate quantum effects into the calculation of finite-temperature decay rates for a metastable state of a quantum field theory. To do this, we…
