Resonance Structure for Preheating with Massless Fields
We extend recent work on the resonance structure for post-inflation reheating, providing an analytic treatment for models in which both the inflaton and the fields into which it decays are massless. Solutions are derived which are valid for either a spatially-flat or spatially-open metric. Closed-form solutions are given for the characteristic exponent, which measures the rate of particle produ...
متن کاملNon-Gaussianity from massless preheating
Preheating can convert superhorizon fluctuations of light scalar fields present at the end of inflation into observable density perturbations. We show in detail how lattice field theory simulations and the separate universes approximation can be used to calculate these perturbations and make predictions for the nonlinearity parameter fNL. We also present a simple approximation scheme that can r...
متن کاملSuperhorizon perturbations and preheating
We discuss the evolution of linear perturbations about a Friedmann– Robertson–Walker background metric, using only the local conservation of energy– momentum. We show that on sufficiently large scales the curvature perturbation on spatial hypersurfaces of uniform-density is constant when the non-adiabatic pressure perturbation is negligible. We clarify the conditions under which super-horizon c...
متن کاملPreheating, Parametric Resonance and the Einstein Field Equations
We consider the interaction between perturbations in the inflaton and in the metric during the preheating phase in simple inflationary models. By numerically integrating the Einstein field equations we are able to gauge the impact of non-linear gravitational effects on preheating for the first time. In the λφ model we find a large increase in the amplitude of sub-Hubble metric modes, beyond tha...
متن کاملPreheating curvature perturbations with a coupled curvaton
We discuss the potentially important rôle played by preheating in certain variants of the curvaton mechanism in which isocurvature perturbations of a D-flat (and F-flat) direction become converted to curvature perturbations during reheating. We analyse the transition from inflation to reheating in some detail, including the dynamics of the coupled curvaton and inflation fields during this trans...
