Nonlinear Inflaton Fragmentation after Preheating
We consider the nonlinear dynamics of inflaton fragmentation during and after preheating in the simplest model of chaotic inflation. While the earlier regime of parametric resonant particle production and the later turbulent regime of interacting fields evolving towards equilibrium are well identified and understood, the short intermediate stage of violent nonlinear dynamics remains less explor...
متن کاملLarge-scale Curvature Perturbations with Spatial and Time Variations of the Inflaton Decay Rate
We present a gauge-invariant formalism to study the evolution of the curvature and entropy perturbations in the case in which spatial and time variations of the inflaton decay rate into ordinary matter are present. During the reheating stage after inflation curvature perturbations can vary with time on super-horizon scales sourced by a a gauge-invariant inflaton decay rate perturbation. We show...
متن کاملInflaton Decay ∗
A new theory of thermal history after inflation is outlined by taking into account the effect of parametric resonance caused by inflaton oscillation. A typical outcome is existence of a high temperature phase, that makes possible GUT baryogenesis consistently with low enough gravitino abundance.
متن کاملLeptogenesis in Inflaton Decay
We study a leptogenesis via decays of heavy Majorana neutrinos produced non-thermally in inflaton decays. We find that this scenario is fully consistent with existing supersymmetric inflation models such as for topological or for hybrid inflation and the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism generating hierarchies in quark and lepton mass matrices. The reheating temperature TR of inflation may be taken as...
متن کاملClassical decay of inflaton
We present the first fully non-linear calculation of inflaton decay. We map inflaton decay onto an equivalent classical problem and solve the latter numerically. In the λφ model, we find that parametric resonance develops slower and ends at smaller values of fluctuating fields, as compared to estimates existing in literature. We also observe a number of qualitatively new phenomena, including a ...
