Abelian Higgs model in power-law inflation: the propagators in the unitary gauge

Abstract We consider the Abelian Higgs model in the broken phase as a spectator in cosmological spaces of general D space-time dimensions, and allow for the condensate to be time-dependent. We fix the unitary gauge using Dirac’s formalism for constrained systems, and then quantize the gauge-fixed sy...
