We study under which conditions an overdamped regime can be attained in the dynamic evolution of a quantum field configuration. Using a real-time formulation of finite temperature field theory, we compute the effective evolution equation of a scalar field configuration, quadratically interacting with a given set of other scalar fields. We then show that, in the overdamped regime, the dissipative kernel in the field equation of motion is closely related to the shear viscosity coefficient, as computed in scalar field theory at finite temperature. The effective dynamics is equivalent to a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau description of the approach to equilibrium in phenomenological theories of phase transitions. Applications of our results, including a recently proposed inflationary scenario called ``warm inflation'', are discussed.

Heterotic Warm Inflation
In a heterotic-string-inspired two-field warm inflation model, the axion drives inflation while thermal corrections from gauge fields block sustained dilaton-driven inflation.

One Feature, Three Clocks: Phase-Locked Gravitational Waves, Primordial Black Holes, and Non-Gaussianity from Periodic Warm Inflation
Periodic warm inflation imprints one log-periodic feature on the curvature spectrum that saturates asteroid-mass PBHs, generates dual-band GW backgrounds, and offsets the bispectrum phase by a quarter cycle fixed by s...

Warming up the Fibres
All four fibre inflation potentials are claimed to agree with CMB observations under warm inflation, and strong dissipation can shrink the inflaton field excursion below the Planck scale.

Viability of warm inflation with standard model interactions
Using the WI2easy code, the Standard Model gluon-coupled warm inflation model remains viable, with a Hubble-exit dissipation ratio Q* between 0.0076 and 30 and inflaton thermalization for Q* above about 0.08.
