A nonequilibrium renormalization group approach to turbulent reheating
We use nonequilibrium renormalization group (RG) techniques to analyse the thermalization process in quantum field theory, and, by extension, reheating after inflation. Even if at a high scale Λ the theory is described by a non-dissipative λφ4 theory, and the RG running induces nontrivial noise and...
