We study the instability of de Sitter space-time (dS) under thermal radiation in different vacua. We argue that the mode function solution of a scalar field in four-dimensional dS can be separated into the incoming and outgoing modes.…
The stochastic effective theory approach, often called stochastic inflation, is widely used in cosmology to describe scalar field dynamics during inflation. The existing formulations are, however, more qualitative than quantitative because…
The aim of this work is to provided the details of a calculation summarized in the recent paper by Maltz and Susskind which conjectured a potentially rigorous framework where the status of de Sitter space is the same as that of a resonance…
We construct a simple algorithm to derive number density of spin 1/2 particles created in spatially flat FLRW spacetimes and resulting renormalized energy-momentum tensor within the framework of adiabatic regularization. Physical quantities…
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, $\eta=\eta_{\text{crit}}$ which depends…
We exploit a recent computation of one graviton loop corrections to the self-mass [1] to quantum-correct the field equation for a massless, conformally coupled scalar on a de Sitter background. With the obvious choice for the finite part of…
The general plane wave solutions of the Proca field in conformal charts of the de Sitter expanding universe are derived for arbitrary polarizations showing how the frequencies can be separated in rest frames, defining thus the rest frame…
Normal modes, quasi-normal modes and super-radiant modes are studied to clarify the total dynamics for complex scalar fields in Kerr anti-de Sitter black hole spacetime. Orthonormal relations and quasi-orthonormal relations are obtained for…
We study the dissipation of oscillating scalar backgrounds in a spatially flat Friedmann-Lema\^{i}tre-Robertson-Walker universe using non-equilibrium quantum field theory. To be concrete, a $Z_2$-symmetric two-scalar model with quartic…
In quantum theory of the free Dirac field on spatially flat FLRW spacetimes we introduce a new type of vacuum able to separate the positive and negative frequencies in the rest frames. This is refereed as the rest frame vacuum shoving that…
We solve the equations of motion for a scalar field with domain wall boundary conditions in a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) spacetime. We find (in agreement with Basu and Vilenkin) that no domain wall solutions exist in de Sitter…
It is shown that the Nachtmann boosting method of introducing coordinates on de Siter manifolds can be completed with suitable gauge transformations able to keep under control the transformation under isometries of the conserved quantities.…
Massless interacting scalar fields in de Sitter space have long been known to experience large fluctuations over length scales larger than Hubble distances. A similar situation arises in condensed matter physics in the vicinity of a…
The problem of the quantum modes of the scalar free field on anti-de Sitter backgrounds with an arbitrary number of space dimensions is considered. It is shown that this problem can be solved by using the same quantum numbers as those of…
We study the linear wave equation on a class of spatially homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetimes in the decelerated regime with spatial topology $\mathbb{R}^3$. Employing twisted $t$-weighted…
It has been proposed recently to consider in the framework of cosmology an extension of the semiclassical Einstein's equations in which the Einstein tensor is considered as a random function. This paradigm yields a hierarchy of equations…
The classical Fourier analysis of a time signal, in the discrete sense, provides the frequency content of signal under the assumption of periodicity. Although the original signal can be exactly recovered using an inverse transform, the time…
We review a system of autonomous differential equations developed in our previous work [1] describing a flat cosmology filled with a barotropic fluid and a scalar field with a modified kinetic term of the form L=F(X)-V(phi). We analyze the…
We search for self tuning solutions to the Einstein-scalar field equations for the simplest class of `Fab-Four' models with constant potentials. We first review the conditions under which self tuning occurs in a cosmological spacetime, and…
Some general remarks are made about the quantum theory of scalar fields and the definition of momentum in curved space. Special emphasis is given to field theory in anti-de Sitter space, as it represents a maximally symmetric space-time of…
