Correlation Functions of Massless Interacting Scalar Fields in de Sitter Space

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-09-30 v2

Abstract

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 complicated structure whereby high momentum modes stay massless while low momentum modes develop a dynamical mass.
