The Fermion Self-Energy during Inflation
Shun-Pei Miao, R. P. Woodard
We compute the one loop fermion self-energy for massless Dirac + Einstein in the presence of a locally de Sitter background. We employ dimensional regularization and obtain a fully…
Dimensionally Regulated Graviton 1-Point Function in de Sitter
N. C. Tsamis, R. P. Woodard
We use dimensional regularization to compute the 1PI 1-point function of quantum gravity at one loop order in a locally de Sitter background. As with other computations, the result…
Yukawa Scalar Self-Mass on a Conformally Flat Background
L. D. Duffy, R. P. Woodard
We compute the one loop self-mass-squared of a massless, minimally coupled scalar which is Yukawa-coupled to a massless Dirac fermion in a general conformally flat background. Dime…
Stochastic Quantum Gravitational Inflation
N. C. Tsamis, R. P. Woodard
During inflation explicit perturbative computations of quantum field theories which contain massless, non-conformal fields exhibit secular effects that grow as powers of the logari…
A Leading Logarithm Approximation for Inflationary Quantum Field Theory
R. P. Woodard
During inflation explicit perturbative computations of quantum field theories which contain massless, non-conformal fields exhibit secular effects that grow as powers of the logari…
