Nonequilibrium Goldstone phenomenon in Hybrid Inflation

We study the onset of Goldstone phenomenon in a hybrid inflation scenario. The physically motivated range of parameters is analyzed in order to meet the cosmological constraints. Classical equations of motion are solved and the evolution through the spontaneous symmetry breaking is followed. We emphasize the role of topological defects that partially maintain the disordered phase well after the waterfall. We study the emergence of the Goldstone excitations and their role in the onset of the radiation dominated universe.Comment: 10 pages with 7 figures.

Transport coefficients and quantum fields

Various aspects of transport coefficients in quantum field theory are reviewed. We describe recent progress in the calculation of transport coefficients in hot gauge theories using Kubo formulas, paying attention to the fulfillment of Ward identities. We comment on why the color conductivity in hot QCD is much simpler to compute than the electrical conductivity. The nonperturbative extraction of transport coefficients from lattice QCD calculations is briefly discussed.Comment: 15 pages with 9 eps figures.

Numerical simulation with light Wilson-quarks

The computational cost of numerical simulations of QCD with light dynamical Wilson-quarks is estimated by determining the autocorrelation of various quantities. In test runs the expected qualitative behaviour of the pion mass and coupling at small quark masses is observed.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, to appear in the Proceedings of SEWM, Heidelberg, 200
