On finite density effects on cosmic reheating and moduli decay and implications for Dark Matter production
We study the damping of an oscillating scalar field in a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetime by perturbative processes, taking into account the back-reaction of the plasma of decay products on the…
Implementing quadratic supergravity inflation
R symmetry and gravitino abundance
Supersymmetry breaking sectors generically have an approximate global U(1) $R$-symmetry. Thermal effects tend to restore the $R$-symmetry in the reheated early universe. We revisit the gravitino…

Thermalization in the Early Universe
We consider the rate of relaxation of an initially non-equilibrium momentum distribution towards thermal equilibrium. Numerical simulation shows that kinetic equilibrium will be reached after a few…
High temperature behaviour of the QCD coupling constant
Perturbative QED and QCD at finite temperatures and densities
The finite temperature and density QED and QCD are discussed from the perturbative viewpoint. A comparison between Abelian QED and non-Abelian QCD is made at every step. The calculation of the…

The running coupling at finite temperature
We propose the ensemble averaged running coupling as the meaningful measure of the coupling strength of an equilibrium gas and consider its scaling behaviour. We show that the high temperature limit…
EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT COUPLING CONSTANT EVOLUTION ON THE UNIFICATION SCALE
We discuss how the evolution of gauge coupling constants is affected by a thermal bath, the existence of which is natural to assume in a cosmological context. The temperature dependent…
Erratum: Perturbative QED and QCD at Finite Temperatures and Densities
This note lists a number of errors appearing in the equations presented in the paper Perturbative QED and QCD at Finite Temperatures and Densities. The paper originally appeared in a 1985 issue of…
