Understand

We discover that some unstable vacua have long memory.

By that we mean that even in the theories containing only massive particles, there are correllators and expectation values which grow with time.
We examine the cases of instabilities caused by the constant electric fields, expanding and contracting universes and, most importantly, the global de Sitter space.
In the last case the interaction leads to a remarkable UV/IR mixing and to a large back reaction.
