We analyze infrared divergences arising in calculations involving light and massless fields in de Sitter space. We show that these arise from an incorrect treatment of the constant mode of the field, and show that a correct quantization…
In de Sitter ambient space formalism, the massless minimally coupled scalar field can be constructed from a massless conformally coupled scalar field and a constant five-vector $A^{\alpha}$. Also, a constant five-vector $B^{\alpha}$ appears…
We consider the massless scalar field on the four-dimensional sphere $S^4$. Its classical action $S={1\over 2}\int_{S^4} dV (\nabla \phi)^2$ is degenerate under the global invariance $\phi \to \phi + \hbox{constant}$. We then quantize the…
We examine the behavior of correlation functions for a massless scalar field in de Sitter space with a quartic interaction. We find that two-loop corrections are relevant, and that the resummation of these corrections generates a…
We study the response of a classical massless minimally coupled scalar to a static point scalar charge on de Sitter. By considering explicit solutions of the problem we conclude that -- even though the dynamics formally admits dilatation…
We resolve the issue of infrared divergences present in theories of light scalar fields on de Sitter space.
We study an interacting $\lambda\,\phi^4_{\star}$ scalar field defined on Snyder-de Sitter space. Due to the noncommutativity as well as the curvature of this space, the renormalization of the two-point function differs from the commutative…
Using a recent thermal-field-theory approach to cosmological perturbations, the exact solutions that were found for collisionless ultrarelativistic matter are generalized to include the effects from weak self-interactions in a…
We generalize key aspects of arXiv:1010.5367 (and also arXiv:1010.5327) to the case of {\em massless} $\lambda \phi^{2n}$ quantum field theory on deSitter spacetime. As in that paper, our key objective is to derive a suitable…
We analyze the model of a self-interacting $\phi^4_{\star}$ scalar field theory in Snyder-de Sitter space. After analytically computing the one-loop beta functions {in the small noncommutativity and curvature limit}, we solve numerically…

The gravitational collapse of a massless scalar field with a self-interaction term $\lambda\phi^4$ in anti-de Sitter space is investigated. We numerically investigate the effect of the self-interaction term on the critical amplitudes,…
The representation theory of de Sitter space allows for a category of partially massless particles which have no flat space analog, but could have existed during inflation. We study the couplings of these exotic particles to inflationary…
