High order correlation functions for a self-interacting scalar field in de Sitter space

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We present the expressions of the three- and four-point correlation functions of a self-interacting light scalar field in a de Sitter spacetime at tree order, respectively, for a cubic and a quartic potential. Exact expressions are derived and their limiting behavior on superhorizon scales are presented. Their essential features are shown to be similar to those obtained in a classical approach.
