Equilibrium State of a Massless Self-Interacting Scalar Field in the De Sitter Background
read the original abstract
Behaviour of a weekly self-interacting scalar field with a small mass in the de Sitter background is investigated using the stochastic approach (including the case of a double-well interaction potential). Existence of the de Sitter invariant equilibrium quantum state of the scalar field in the presence of interaction is shown for any sign of the mass term. The stochastic approach is further developed to produce a method of calculation of an arbitrary anomalously large correlation function of the scalar field in the de Sitter background, and expressions for the two-point correlation function in the equilibrium state, correlation time and spatial physical correlation radius are presented. The latter does not depend on time that implies that the characteristic size of domains with positive and negative values of the scalar field remains the same on average in the equilibrium state in spite of the expansion of the $t=const$ hypersurface of the de Sitter space-time.

Nonlinear Lattice Framework for Inflation: Bridging stochastic inflation and the $\delta{N}$ formalism
A shear-free lattice method bridges stochastic inflation and δN formalism by enabling fully nonlinear calculations of curvature perturbations in single-field models with ultra-slow-roll phases.

A consistent formulation of stochastic inflation I: Non-Markovian effects and issues beyond linear perturbations
The conventional truncation in stochastic inflation is inconsistent because quadratic-noise contributions are the same perturbative order as the deterministic non-Markovian corrections.

Multifield stochastic inflation: Relevance of number of fields in statistical moments
Stochastic effects in multifield inflation make the number of fields relevant for e-fold statistics and power spectrum, with a general formula for higher moments and an upper bound on fields for successful inflation.

Yukawa scalar self energy at two loop and $\langle \phi^2 \rangle$ in the inflationary de Sitter spacetime
Two-loop Yukawa corrections in de Sitter yield ⟨ϕ²⟩ ~ ln⁴a at late times, with a resummed expression that is bounded, decreases with larger Yukawa coupling, and implies a growing dynamical scalar mass.

Holographic complexity of conformal fields in global de Sitter spacetime
Holographic complexity of CFTs in global dS_d is computed via volume and action prescriptions in AdS foliation and brane setups, then compared to results from static and Poincare patches.
