Title Adiabatic regularization and preferred vacuum state for the lambda phi^4 field theory in cosmological spacetimes Type Journal Article
Year 2022 Publication Physical Review D Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. D

Abstract We extend the method of adiabatic regularization by introducing an arbitrary parameter μfor a scalar field with quartic self-coupling in a Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker spacetime at one-loop order. The subtraction terms constructed from this extended version allow us to define a preferred vacuum state at a fixed time ri 1/4 ri0 for this theory. We compute this vacuum state for two commonly used background fields in cosmology, specially in the context of preheating. We also give a possible prescription for an adequate value for mu.
