Light fields in various patches of de Sitter space-time
Abstract: We start with the consideration of the loop effects for light fields with non-zero mass in the expanding Poincar\'e patch of de Sitter space-time. We derive the Dyson-Schwinger equation, which sums up the leading infrared (growing with time) loop corrections in certain limit for small initial perturbations above the Bunch-Davies state. The solution of this equation shows the destiny of the initial state at the future infinity. Then we discuss the case of the contracting Poincar\'e patch and global de Sitter space-time and briefly the case of different initial conditions in the expanding Poincar\'e patch.
