Reheating and causal thermodynamics
The reheating process in in ationary universe models is considered as an out-of-equilibrium mixture of two interacting and reacting uids, and studied within the framework of causal, irreversible thermodynamics. The evolution of the temperature and the decay rate as determined by causal thermodynamics are estimated at di erent stages of the process. A simple model is also used to nd the perturba...
متن کاملBrane inflation and reheating
We study inflation and reheating in a brane world model derived from Type IIA string theory. This particular setup is based on a model of string mediated supersymmetry breaking. The inflaton is one of the transverse scalars of a D4-brane which has one of its spatial dimensions stretched between two NS5-branes, so that it is effectively three-dimensional. This D4-brane is attracted to a D6-brane...
متن کاملChaotic Reheating
We discuss the structure of parametric resonance which occurs in the process of reheating after inflation with two interacting scalar fields. It is found that, for the case of a not too large coupling constant, a quasi-homogeneous part of the second, initially subdominant scalar field may not be neglected due to its stochastic growth during inflation. This fact has strong consequences for the r...
متن کاملReheating from Tachyon Condensation
We argue that it may be possible to reheat the universe after inflation driven by D-brane annihilation, due to the coupling of massless fields to the time-dependent tachyon condensate which describes the annihilation process. This mechanism can work if the original branes annihilate to a stable brane containing the standard model. Given reasonable assumptions about the shape of the tachyon back...
متن کاملUniverse reheating after inflation.
We study the problem of scalar particle production after inflation by an in-flaton field which is oscillating rapidly relative to the expansion of the universe. We use the framework of the chaotic inflation scenario with quartic and quadratic inflaton potentials. Particles produced are described by a quantum scalar field χ, which is coupled to the inflaton via linear and quadratic couplings. Th...
