Abstract
jWe review recent research on Initial Value Problems in Quantum Field Theory. We pay special attention to the chiral phase transition in the linear sigma model. We discuss conditions for the development of Disoriented Chiral Condensates and show how their presence affects both the pion inclusive distribution and the dilepton distribution. We discuss the use of Schwinger's closed time path formalism for determining inclusive distribution functions.
