abstract
We present the first fully non-linear calculation of inflaton decay. We map inflaton decay onto an equivalent classical problem and solve the latter numerically. In the $\lambda\phi^4$ model, we find that parametric resonance develops slower and ends at smaller values of fluctuating fields, as compared to estimates existing in literature. We also observe a number of qualitatively new phenomena, including a stage of semiclassical thermalization, during which the decay of inflaton is essentially as effective as during the resonance stage.

Nonlinear Lattice Framework for Inflation: Bridging stochastic inflation and the $\delta{N}$ formalism
A shear-free locally FLRW lattice framework for single-field inflation captures spatially varying expansion, curvature corrections, and nonlinear δN observables at a fraction of the cost of full numerical relativity.

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

Oscillating scalar fields and the Hubble tension: a resolution with novel signatures
A subdominant oscillating scalar field with about 10% energy density at redshift 3500 and a potential ∝ φ^{2n} (n≈3) can resolve the Hubble tension, with CMB-S4-detectable polarization signatures and self-resonance for n≈2.

Particle decay as asymptotic narrow parametric resonance
A Boltzmann equation with Gaussian momentum spread reproduces the asymptotic growth rate and number density of narrow parametric resonance to within about 20 percent.

Ephemeral Oscillons in Scalar-Tensor Theories: The Higgs-like case
In a Higgs-like Einstein-Cartan inflation model, oscillons formed after inflation are short-lived and their decay drives radiation domination within about four e-folds.

Inflaton Self Resonance, Oscillons, and Gravitational Waves in Small Field Polynomial Inflation
For sufficiently small phi0 (below about 0.02 mPl), the inflaton condensate in this polynomial model fragments into long-lived oscillons, producing MHz-GHz gravitational waves and possibly seeding light primordial bla...
