On "dynamical mass" generation in Euclidean de Sitter space

Beneke, M., Moch, P.

Understand

We consider the perturbative treatment of the minimally coupled, massless, self-interacting scalar field in Euclidean de Sitter space.

  • Generalizing work of Rajaraman, we obtain the dynamical mass m^2 \propto sqrt{lambda} H^2 of the scalar for non-vanishing Lagrangian masses and the first perturbative quantum correction in the massless case.
  • We develop the rules of a systematic perturbative expansion, which treats the zero-mode non-perturbatively, and goes in powers of sqrt{lambda}.
  • The infrared divergences are self-regulated by the zero-mode dynamics.
