The evolution and decay of supersymmetric flat directions in the early universe and their role in thermalizing the universe
Matthew G. Sexton
I study the post-inflation oscillation and decay of light coherent scalar field condensates that may develop during an inflationary phase of the universe. In particular, the light…

The nonperturbative decay of SUSY flat directions
A. E. Gumrukcuoglu, Keith A. Olive, Marco Peloso +1
We compute the nonperturbative decay of supersymmetric flat directions due to their D-term potential. Flat directions can develop large vacuum expectation values (vevs) during infl…

Nonlinear Properties of Vielbein Massive Gravity
Stefan Groot Nibbelink, Marco Peloso, Matthew Sexton
We propose a non-linear extension of the Fierz-Pauli mass for the graviton through a functional of the vielbein and an external Minkowski background. The functional generalizes the…
