Description:
Author(s): Sam Bartrum, Arjun Berera, and João G. Rosa We show that dissipative effects have a significant impact on the evolution of cosmological scalar fields, leading to friction, entropy production and field fluctuations. We explicitly compute the dissipation coefficient for different scalar fields within the standard model and some of its most wide... [Phys. Rev. D 91, 083540] Published Wed Apr 29, 2015
