Resonant decay of Bose condensates
read the original abstract
We present results of fully non-linear calculations of decay of the inflaton interacting with another scalar field X. Combining numerical results for cosmologically interesting range of resonance parameter, q \leq 10^6, with analytical estimates, we extrapolate them to larger q. We find that scattering of X fluctuations off the Bose condensate is a very efficient mechanism limiting growth of X fluctuations. For a single-component X, the resulting variance, at large q, is much smaller than that obtained in the Hartree approximation.

Equation of state during (p)reheating with trilinear interactions
Lattice simulations show that the post-inflationary equation of state with trilinear interactions returns to zero after an initial deviation, substantially lowering stochastic gravitational wave amplitudes relative to...
