Abstract

A proper quantum statistical field theory framework for the decoupling of the cosmological plasma in curved space-time implies the appearance of corrections to the classical kinetic form of the stress-energy tensor of freely streaming particles. Such quantum corrections can become relevant even at long times after the decoupling and can significantly modify the relation between energy density and pressure, that is the equation of state.
