Renormalization of the 2PI Hartree-Fock approximation on de Sitter background in the broken phase

Arai, Takashi

Understand

The infrared effects for light minimally coupled scalar fields with quartic self-interaction in de Sitter space is investigated using the 2PI effective action formalism.

  • This formalism partially resums infinite series of loop diagrams, and enables us to circumvent the IR divergence problem for a massless minimally coupled scalar field in de Sitter space.
  • It is anticipated that nonperturbative infrared effects generate a curvature-induced mass and self-regulate the IR divergence.
  • However, due to its nonperturbative nature, the renormalization prescription is a nontrivial task.
