Graviton Production from Inflaton Condensate: Boltzmann vs Bogoliubov
Chenhuan Wang, Yong Xu, Wenbin Zhao
We study graviton production from an oscillating inflaton condensate during reheating by systematically comparing Boltzmann and Bogoliubov descriptions for inflaton potentials of t…
Accretion Effects on Primordial Black Hole Reheating Constraints
Chenhuan Wang
In this work, we study the effects of accretion on the primordial black hole (PBH) reheating scenario. PBHs could form from primordial fluctuations. If they have the right mass and…
Inflaton Self Resonance, Oscillons, and Gravitational Waves in Small Field Polynomial Inflation
Manuel Drees, Chenhuan Wang
In this work, we investigate the post-inflationary dynamics of a simple single-field model with a renormalizable inflaton potential featuring a near-inflection point at a field val…
Gravitational Dark Matter Production in Supergravity -Attractor Inflation
Chenhuan Wang, Wenbin Zhao
We consider gravitational particle production (GPP) of dark matter (DM) under a supergravity framework, where the -attractor inflation model is used. The particle spectrum is c…
