Modeling Thermal Fluctuations: Phase Mixing and Percolation
Marcelo Gleiser, Andrew F. Heckler, Edward W. Kolb
We consider the nonequilibrium dynamics of a a real scalar field in a degenerate double-well potential. The system is prepared in the lowest free energy state in one of the wells a…
Femtolensing and Picolensing by Axion Miniclusters
E. W. Kolb, I. I. Tkachev
Non-linear effects in the evolution of the axion field in the early Universe may lead to the formation of gravitationally bound clumps of axions, known as ``miniclusters.'' Miniclu…
Reconstructing the Inflaton Potential --- an Overview
James E Lidsey, Andrew R Liddle, Edward W Kolb +3
We review the relation between the inflationary potential and the spectra of density (scalar) perturbations and gravitational waves (tensor perturbations) produced, with particular…
