The Lamé equation in parametric resonance after inflation
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that the most general inflaton potential in Minkowski spacetime for which the differential equation for the Fourier modes of the matter fields reduces to Lamé’s equation is of the form V (φ) = λφ/4 + Kφ/2 + μ/(2φ) + V0. As an application, we study the preheating phase after inflation for the above potential with K = 0 and arbitrary λ, μ > 0. For certain values of the coupling constant between the inflaton and the matter fields, we calculate the instability intervals and the characteristic exponents in closed form.

Parametric Amplification of Density Perturbation in the Oscillating inflation
We study the adiabatic density perturbation in the oscillating inflation, proposed by Damour and Mukhanov. The recent study of the cosmological perturbation during reheating shows that the adiabatic fluctuation behaves like as the perfect fluid and no significant amplification occurs on super-horizon scales. In the oscillating inflation, however, the accelerated expansion takes place during the...
متن کاملProduction by Nambu Goldstone Bosons with Application to Inflation Rehea
A semiclassical calculation of particle production by a scalar field in a potential is performed. We focus on the particular case of production of fermions by a NambuGoldstone boson θ. We have derived a (non)local equation of motion for the θ-field with the backreaction of the produced particles taken into account. The equation is solved in some special cases, namely for purely Nambu-Goldstone ...
متن کاملThe Preheating - Gravitational Wave Correspondence: I
The gravitational wave equations form a parametric resonance system during oscillatory reheating after inflation, when cast in terms of the electric and magnetic parts of the Weyl tensor. This is in direct analogy with preheating. For chaotic inflation with a quadratic potential, this analogy is exact. The resulting amplification of the gravitational wave spectrum begins in the broad resonance ...
متن کاملPreheating after Inflation
In inflationary cosmology, the particles constituting the Universe are created after inflation in the process of reheating due to the interaction with the oscillating inflaton field. We briefly review the basics of the slow reheating, and the stage of fast preheating, when the particles are created explosively in the regime of parametric resonance. The non-perturbative, out-of-equilibrium chara...
متن کاملCombination Resonance of Nonlinear Rotating Balanced Shafts Subjected to Periodic Axial Load
Dynamic behavior of a circular shaft with geometrical nonlinearity and constant spin, subjected to periodic axial load is investigated. The case of parametric combination resonance is studied. Extension of shaft center line is the source of nonlinearity. The shaft has gyroscopic effect and rotary inertia but shear deformation is neglected. The equations of motion are derived by extended Hamilto...
