High-frequency Graviton from Inflaton Oscillation
read the original abstract
We point out that there is a high-frequency tail of the stochastic inflationary gravitational wave background that scales as $f^{-1/2}$ with frequency $f$. This contribution comes from the graviton vacuum fluctuation amplified by the inflaton coherent oscillation during the reheating stage. It contains information on inflaton properties such as the inflaton mass as well as the thermal history of the early Universe.

An EFT Map of Axion Dark Radiation from Reheating
An EFT with inflaton-dependent axion kinetic term organizes direct decay and annihilation production during reheating, yielding ΔN_eff contributions that scale as T_rh^{-2} and T_rh^{4/3} respectively and allowing a t...

A Unified Bogoliubov Approach to Primordial Gravitational Waves: From Inflation to Reheating
An improved Bogoliubov numerical method computes the full primordial GW spectrum from inflation to reheating and shows that inflaton anharmonicity imprints distinctive features at high frequencies.

Graviton Production from Inflaton Condensate: Boltzmann vs Bogoliubov
For n=2 inflaton potentials Boltzmann and Bogoliubov agree on short-wavelength gravitons; for n>2 the non-adiabatic transition dominates and requires the Bogoliubov formalism.

Graviton Production from Inflaton Condensate: Boltzmann vs Bogoliubov
For quadratic inflaton potentials Boltzmann and Bogoliubov spectra agree at short wavelengths, but for steeper potentials non-adiabatic transition effects captured only by Bogoliubov are sizable across a broad momentum range.

Graviton Floor
Photon-to-graviton conversion in blazar jets dominates a new graviton background that sets a floor for high-frequency GW detectors, analogous to the neutrino floor.

Irreducible Graviton Floor from Reheating
Perturbative inflaton decay emits an irreducible stochastic GW background with Ω_GW ∝ f spectrum whose amplitude is set by the hard decay rate and reaches O(10^{-17}) at GHz scales.

Probing Bose-enhanced Inflaton Decay with Gravitational Waves
Bose enhancement from a transient condensate of inflaton decay products dramatically increases decay efficiency and amplifies stochastic gravitational wave production to potentially observable levels.

High Frequency Spectrum of Primordial Gravitational Waves
High-frequency primordial gravitational waves extend to higher frequencies due to post-inflation inflaton dynamics, and their detailed spectrum shape can distinguish inflation models.
