Dynamics of super-horizon photons during inflation with vacuum polarization

Annals Phys. 312 (2004) 1-16 We study asymptotic dynamics of photons propagating in the polarized vacuum of a locally de Sitter Universe. The origin of the vacuum polarization is fluctuations of a massless, minimally coupled, scalar, which we model by the one-loop vacuum polarization tensor of scala...
