Abstract We discuss the quantum dynamics of the central spin model in a regime where the central spin and bath are slaved to each other. The exact solution is found when the bath is static, and is compared with the effect of an external…
We study inflation as a "cosmic" renormalization-group flow. The flow, which encodes the dependence on the background metric, is described by a running coupling $\alpha $, which parametrizes the slow roll, a de Sitter free, analytic beta…
