We review the use of an exact renormalization group equation in quantum field theory and
statistical physics. It describes the dependence of the free energy on an infrared cutoff for the …

Reheating is an important part of inflationary cosmology. It describes the production of
Standard Model particles after the phase of accelerated expansion. We review the reheating …

Reheating after inflation occurs due to particle production by the oscillating inflaton field. In
this paper we briefly describe the perturbative approach to reheating, and then concentrate …

The theory of reheating of the Universe after inflation is developed. We have found that
typically at the first stage of reheating the classical inflation field φ rapidly decays into φ …

This book accompanies another book by the same authors, Introduction to the Theory of the
Early Universe: Hot Big Bang Theory and presents the theory of the evolution of density …

We study the problem of scalar particle production after inflation by an inflaton field which is
oscillating rapidly relative to the expansion of the universe. We use the framework of the …

Due to the interaction of physics and astrophysics we are witnessing in these years a
splendid synthesis of theoretical, experimental and observational results originating from …

Continuum strong QCD is the application of models and continuum quantum field theory to
the study of phenomena in hadronic physics, which includes; eg, the spectrum of QCD …

Our understanding of the state of the universe between the end of inflation and big bang
nucleosynthesis (BBN) is incomplete. The dynamics at the end of inflation are rich and a …

Bringing together the key ideas from nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and powerful
methodology from quantum field theory, this 2008 book captures the essence of …
