Stochastic inflation emerges as GKLS open-system dynamics from tracing entangled modes entering a coarse-grained de Sitter patch, reproducing the classical phase-space Fokker-Planck equation.

A generalized Fokker-Planck equation for stochastic inflation is derived from a Polchinski-type renormalization group flow on the density matrix, incorporating dissipative and diffusive corrections beyond the leading order.
Constructs a manifestly diagonal-BRST-invariant Schwinger-Keldysh path integral for open non-Abelian gauge theories with arbitrary physical initial states, yielding Ward-Takahashi-Slavnov-Taylor identities and a Keldysh BRST symmetry for the Open EFT.
A quenched-disorder approach with Schwinger-Keldysh path integrals produces an averaged density matrix for gravitational waves that separates phase-suppressing exponential terms from oscillatory corrections to coherent propagation.
Different dimensional regularization schemes agree with each other and with unitarity; new analytic eta regulators simplify the work and fix the imaginary part of one-loop coefficients by the logarithmic running of the real part under scale invariance and Bunch-Davies conditions.
A geometric landscape of mixed states for cosmological perturbations unifies decoherence models and derives non-linearity bounds that rule out decohered thermal states and limit amplitude-diagonal models to under 70 e-folds of inflation.
Derives gauge-invariant influence functionals for photons and Stueckelberg fields in open U(1) gauge EFTs via BRST on the in-in contour after integrating out matter.
An expression is derived to compute time-dependent Wigner functions directly from initial values in open quantum systems of a non-relativistic particle with a general environment.

A Landscape of Cosmological Decoherence
A geometric landscape of mixed states for cosmological perturbations unifies decoherence models and derives non-linearity bounds that rule out decohered thermal states and limit amplitude-diagonal models to under 70 e-folds of inflation.
