Reheating in inflationary cosmology: theory and applications

R Allahverdi, R Brandenberger… - Annual Review of …, 2010 - annualreviews.org
Reheating is an important part of inflationary cosmology. It describes the production of
Standard Model particles after the phase of accelerated expansion. We review the reheating …

Inflation dynamics and reheating

BA Bassett, S Tsujikawa, D Wands - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2006 - APS
The theory of inflation with single and multiple fields is reviewed paying particular attention
to the dynamics of adiabatic and entropy/isocurvature perturbations which provide the …

Nonperturbative dynamics of reheating after inflation: a review

MA Amin, MP Hertzberg, DI Kaiser… - International Journal of …, 2015 - World Scientific
Our understanding of the state of the universe between the end of inflation and big bang
nucleosynthesis (BBN) is incomplete. The dynamics at the end of inflation are rich and a …

[图书][B] Nonequilibrium quantum field theory

EA Calzetta, BLB Hu - 2009 - library.oapen.org
Bringing together the key ideas from nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and powerful
methodology from quantum field theory, this 2008 book captures the essence of …

Parametric amplification of metric fluctuations during reheating in two field models

F Finelli, R Brandenberger - Physical Review D, 2000 - APS
We study the parametric amplification of super-Hubble-scale scalar metric fluctuations at the
end of inflation in some specific two-field models of inflation, a class of which is motivated by …

Metric preheating and limitations of linearized gravity

BA Bassett, F Tamburini, DI Kaiser, R Maartens - Nuclear Physics B, 1999 - Elsevier
During the preheating era after inflation, resonant amplification of quantum field fluctuations
takes place. Recently it has become clear that this must be accompanied by resonant …

Cosmology of the very early universe

RH Brandenberger - AIP conference proceedings, 2010 - pubs.aip.org
In these lectures I focus on early universe models which can explain the currently observed
structure on large scales. I begin with a survey of inflationary cosmology, the current …

[HTML][HTML] Quantum out-of-equilibrium cosmology

S Choudhury, A Mukherjee, P Chauhan… - The European Physical …, 2019 - Springer
In this work, our prime focus is to study the one to one correspondence between the
conduction phenomena in electrical wires with impurity and the scattering events …

From wires to cosmology

MA Amin, D Baumann - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We provide a statistical framework for characterizing stochastic particle production in the
early universe via a precise correspondence to current conduction in wires with impurities …

Reheating the universe after multi-field inflation

J Braden, L Kofman, N Barnaby - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We study in detail (p) reheating after multi-field inflation models with a particular focus on N-
flation. We consider a variety of different couplings between the inflatons and the matter …
