We present a review on the state-of-the-art of the mathematical framework known as
stochastic inflation, paying special attention to its derivation, and giving references for the …

Many cosmological observables derive from primordial vacuum fluctuations evolved to late
times. These observables represent statistical draws from some underlying quantum or …

We use the influence functional path-integral method to derive an exact master equation for
the quantum Brownian motion of a particle linearly coupled to a general environment …

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

The possibility of thermally induced initial density perturbations in inflationary cosmology is
examined. The fluctuation dynamics of a scalar field plus a thermal bath system during slow …

It is argued that the main quantity of interest in chaotic inflation is the cosmological
expansion rate H expressed as a function of the inflaton field φ. We derive a general …

A bstract Cosmological relaxation of the electroweak scale is an attractive scenario
addressing the gauge hierarchy problem. Its main actor, the relaxion, is a light spin-zero field …

A bstract We describe a new phenomenon in quantum cosmology: self-organised
localisation. When the fundamental parameters of a theory are functions of a scalar field …
