| « Infrared dynamics of interacting scalar fields in de Sitter space » |
|
Julien Serreau |
| I review recent progress in understanding the dynamics of light self-interacting scalar fields in de Sitter space at low (superhorizon) momenta. In this regime, perturbation theory is plagued by secular/infrared divergences due to the gravitational amplification of long wavelength quantum fluctuation and a correct description requires resummation schemes and/or nonperturbative tools. I present results based on large-N techniques, solutions of the Dyson-Schwinger equations, and nonperturbative renormalization group methods. The gravitationally enhanced infrared fluctuations trigger dramatic phenomena such as the radiative restoration of spontaneously broken symmetries. |
