Preheating in Einstein-Cartan Higgs Inflation: oscillon formation

M Piani, J Rubio - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We make use of classical lattice simulations in 3+ 1 dimensions to study the preheating
stage of Higgs Inflation in Einstein-Cartan gravity. Focusing for concreteness on a simplified …

Present and future of osmo attice

DG Figueroa, A Florio, F Torrenti - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We discuss the present state and planned updates of CosmoLattice, a cutting-edge code for
lattice simulations of non-linear dynamics of scalar-gauge field theories in an expanding …

Cosmic Inflation: Background dynamics, Quantum fluctuations and Reheating

SS Mishra - arXiv preprint arXiv:2403.10606, 2024 - arxiv.org
These lecture notes provide a pedagogical introduction to some aspects of the inflationary
cosmology, including the background scalar field dynamics, generation of primordial seed …

Analytic description of monodromy oscillons

DG Levkov, VE Maslov - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We develop a precise analytic description of oscillons—long-lived quasiperiodic field lumps—
in scalar field theories with nearly quadratic potentials, eg, the monodromy potential. Such …

Quantum tachyonic preheating, revisited

A Tranberg, G Ungersbäck - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract In certain models of inflation, the postinflationary reheating of the Universe is not
primarily due to perturbative decay of the inflaton field into particles, but proceeds through a …

Formation and decay of oscillons after inflation in the presence of an external coupling, Part-I: Lattice simulations

M Shafi, EJ Copeland, R Mahbub, SS Mishra… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We investigate the formation and decay of oscillons during the post-inflationary reheating
epoch from inflaton oscillations around asymptotically flat potentials $ V (\varphi) $ in the …

Inflationary Gravitational Waves as a probe of the unknown post-inflationary primordial Universe

AK Soman, SS Mishra, M Shafi, S Basak - arXiv preprint arXiv:2407.07956, 2024 - arxiv.org
One of the key predictions of the standard inflationary paradigm is the quantum mechanical
generation of the transverse and traceless tensor fluctuations due to the rapid accelerated …
