Abstract
The approximate late conformal time wavefunction for self-interacting scalar quantum fields in de Sitter space is computed. It dominates for conformal times much larger than a certain critical value, which depends on the dimension and on other characteristics of the matter fields. Its self-consistency (i.e., whether the back reaction is consistent with the de Sitter symmetry) is analyzed.
