Infrared effects in inflationary correlation functions

D Seery - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper, I briefly review the status of infrared effects which occur when using inflationary
models to calculate initial conditions for a subsequent hot, dense plasma phase. Three types …

Infrared stability of de Sitter QFT: Results at all orders

D Marolf, IA Morrison - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2011 - APS
We show that the Hartle-Hawking vacuum for any theory of interacting massive scalars on a
fixed de Sitter background is both perturbatively well defined and stable in the IR …

Universality of high-energy absorption cross sections for black holes

Y Décanini, G Esposito-Farese, A Folacci - Physical Review D—Particles …, 2011 - APS
We consider the absorption problem for a massless scalar field propagating in static and
spherically symmetric black holes of arbitrary dimension endowed with a photon sphere. For …

Scattering of massless scalar waves by Reissner-Nordström black holes

LCB Crispino, SR Dolan, ES Oliveira - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2009 - APS
We present a study of scattering of massless planar scalar waves by a charged nonrotating
black hole. Partial wave methods are applied to compute scattering and absorption cross …

The fermion self-energy during inflation

SP Miao, RP Woodard - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Perturbative S-matrix for massive scalar fields in global de Sitter space

D Marolf, IA Morrison, M Srednicki - Classical and Quantum …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We construct a perturbative S-matrix for interacting massive scalar fields in global de Sitter
space. Our S-matrix is formulated in terms of asymptotic particle states in the far past and …

Equivalence between Euclidean and in-in formalisms in de Sitter QFT

A Higuchi, D Marolf, IA Morrison - … Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2011 - APS
We study the relation between two sets of correlators in interacting quantum field theory on
de Sitter space. The first are correlators computed using in-in perturbation theory in the …

Correlators, Feynman diagrams, and quantum no-hair in deSitter spacetime

S Hollands - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2013 - Springer
We provide a parametric representation for position-space Feynman integrals of a massive,
self-interacting scalar field in deSitter spacetime, for an arbitrary graph. The expression is …
