abstract

We study, both numerically and analytically, the development of equilibrium after preheating. We show that the process is characterised by the appearance of Kolmogorov spectra and the evolution towards thermal equilibrium follows self-similar dynamics. Simplified kinetic theory gives values for all characteristic exponents which are close to what is observed in lattice simulations. The resulting time for thermalization is long, and temperature at thermalization is low, $T \sim 100$ eV in the simple $\lambda \Phi^4$ inflationary model. Our results allow a straightforward generalization to realistic models.

  1. Quasinormal modes of nonthermal fixed points

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Perturbations around nonthermal fixed points obey a quasinormal-mode eigenvalue problem, and for a Fokker-Planck collision kernel the spectrum is a tower of purely imaginary frequencies.

  2. Can the universe be matter-dominated after a supercooled first-order phase transition?

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    After a supercooled first-order phase transition, the scalar field's equation of state is set by the bubble-wall Lorentz factor γ*, and matter domination is delayed until a/a* ≃ γ* in the free-streaming limit.

  3. Attractodynamics in 0+1D

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Attractodynamics constructs a macroscopic closure around a nonthermal attractor; in the 0+1D BSY kinetic model, ideal and viscous truncations track the full kinetic evolution, with the viscous extension improving agre...

  4. Attractor of hydrodynamic attractors

    nucl-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Second- and higher-order hydrodynamic attractors converge to the same universal curve before the Navier-Stokes limit, with the leading correction controlled only by second-order coefficients.

    Dark matter freezes in from non-thermal Z' decays before reheating ends in an inflationary model with a secluded U(1)_D gauge sector, Z' reheaton, and lattice treatment of non-perturbative effects, opening viable para...

    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...
