Taming the infrared in de Sitter space: autonomous equations, stochastic approach, and Borel resummation
Abstract
We investigate the divergent perturbative series of correlation functions for a massless, self-interacting scalar field in de Sitter space. First, we use our previously proposed method of autonomous equations to obtain finite time-dependent functions, and show that these functions approximate the time evolution of the correlation functions of the stochastic theory reasonably well. Second, we apply the technique of autonomous equations to the Borel-Le Roy transforms of correlation functions, and use solutions of these equations to perform Borel resummation. The results match the time evolution obtained in the stochastic picture substantially better. In addition, we propose an alternative method for extracting perturbative coefficients and provide a new derivation of our autonomous equation by truncating a system of Schwinger-Dyson-type differential equations.
