TLDR
It is found that the classical resonant amplification at early times is followed by a collective amplification regime with explosive particle production in a broad momentum range, which is not accessible in a leading-order calculation.Abstract:
We present the first study of parametric resonance in quantum field theory from a complete next-to-leading order calculation in a 1/N expansion of the two-particle irreducible effective action, which includes scattering and memory effects. We present a complete numerical solution for an O(N)-symmetric scalar theory and provide an approximate analytic description of the nonlinear dynamics in the entire amplification range. We find that the classical resonant amplification at early times is followed by a collective amplification regime with explosive particle production in a broad momentum range, which is not accessible in a leading-order calculation.read more

Reheating in Inflationary Cosmology: Theory and Applications
TL;DR: A review of the reheating process is given in this article, focusing on an in-depth discussion of the preheating stage which is characterized by exponential particle production due to a parametric resonance or tachyonic instability.

Nonperturbative Dynamics Of Reheating After Inflation: A Review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of the current understanding of the nonperturbative, nonlinear dynamics at the end of inflation, some salient features of realistic particle physics models of reheating, and how the universe reaches a thermal state before BBN.

Gravitational wave background from reheating after hybrid inflation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the fraction of energy density today in these primordial gravitational waves could be significant for grand unified theory (GUT)-scale models of inflation, although well beyond the frequency range sensitivity of gravitational wave observatories like LIGO, LISA, or BBO.

TL;DR: The theoretical description of trapped weakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensates is characterized by a large number of seemingly very different approaches which have been developed over the course of time by researchers with very distinct backgrounds.

Preheating with trilinear interactions: Tachyonic resonance
Jean-François Dufaux,Gary N. Felder,Lev Kofman,Marco Peloso,Dmitry I. Podolsky,Dmitry I. Podolsky +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of bosonic trilinear interactions in preheating after chaotic inflation were investigated. And they were shown to lead to faster rescattering and thermalization than could occur without them.
