Misalignment dynamics of Scalar Condensates with Yukawa coupling: Particle and Entropy Production
Nathan Herring, Daniel Boyanovsky
Misalignment dynamics, the non-equilibrium evolution of a scalar (or pseudoscalar) condensate in a potential landscape, broadly describes a solution to the strong CP problem, a mec…

Is the finite temperature effective potential, effective for dynamics?
Nathan Herring, Shuyang Cao, Daniel Boyanovsky
We study the applicability of the finite temperature effective potential in the equation of motion of a homogeneous "misaligned" scalar condensate , and find important caveats…
