Non-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 کاملResonance 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 کاملRestoring the sting to metric preheating
The relative growth of field and metric perturbations during preheating is sensitive to initial conditions set in the preceding inflationary phase. Recent work suggests this may protect super-Hubble metric perturbations from resonant amplification during preheating. We show that this possibility is fragile and sensitive to the specific form of the interactions between the inflaton and other fie...
متن کاملPreheating in an expanding universe: Analytic results for the massless case
Analytic results are presented for preheating in both flat and open models of chaotic inflation, for the case of massless inflaton decay into further inflaton quanta. It is demonstrated that preheating in both these cases closely resembles that in Minkowski spacetime. Furthermore, quantitative differences between preheating in spatially flat and open models of inflation remain of order 10 for t...
متن کاملVery Large Primordial Non-Gaussianity from multi-field: Application to Massless Preheating
In this paper we derive a generic expression, which is valid for scales larger than Hubble radius and contains only the local terms, for the second order curvature perturbations for more than one field, provided the expansion is sourced by the energy density of a single field. As an application, motivated by our previous paper [1], we apply our formalism to two fields during preheating, where t...
