Nonthermal phase transitions after inflation.
At the rst stage of reheating after in ation, parametric resonance may rapidly transfer most of the energy of an in aton eld to the energy of other bosons. We show that quantum uctuations of scalar and vector elds produced at this stage are much greater than they would be in a state of thermal equilibrium. This leads to cosmological phase transitions of a new type, which may result in a copious...
متن کاملFirst-order nonthermal phase transition after preheating
During preheating after inflation, parametric resonance rapidly generates very large fluctuations of scalar fields. In models where the inflaton field φ oscillates in a double-well potential and interacts with another scalar field X, fluctuations of X can keep the φ→ −φ symmetry temporarily restored. If the coupling of φ to X is much stronger than the inflaton self-coupling, the subsequent symm...

متن کاملPhase Transitions during Inflation and Chemically Inhomogeneous Universe
Several models of baryo(lepto)genesis that give rise to large inhomogeneities in the composition of the universe are presented. In particular, a variation of primordial abundances of light elements by the factor 2-5 at large distances is predicted. A cosmological model of baryonic island is considered. Creation of domains with very large baryon and antibaryon number is described. Such domains m...
متن کاملEvolution of inhomogeneous condensates after phase transitions.
Using the O(4) linear σ model, we address the topic of non-equilibrium relaxation of an inhomogeneous initial configuration due to quantum and thermal fluctuations. The space-time evolution of an inhomogeneous fluctuation of the condensate in the isoscalar channel decaying via the emission of pions in the medium is studied within the context of disoriented chiral condensates. We use out of equi...
