Abstract

We extend the theory of a zero-bias anomaly (ZBA) in the tunneling density of states of a diffusive metallic film to out-of-equilibrium conditions. An effective action describing virtual fluctuations out of equilibrium is derived. The singular behavior of the equilibrium ZBA is smoothed out by real processes of inelastic scattering.
