Anisotropy dissipation in the early Universe: Finite-temperature effects reexamined

We reexamine the role that finite-temperature effects play in the dissipation of the initial anisotropy of the Universe. The issue was previously studied both in the zero- and finite-temperature cases. Our results show that the finite-temperature corrections do not introduce new qualitative behavior...

We reexamine the role that finite-temperature effects play in the dissipation of the initial anisotropy of the Universe. The issue was previously studied both in the zero- and finite-temperature cases. Our results show that the finite-temperature corrections do not introduce new qualitative behavior and that the anisotropy dissipation scenario is approximately the same as in the zero-temperature case.
