Impact of other scalar fields on oscillons after hilltop inflation
Stefan Antusch, Stefano Orani
Oscillons are spatially localized and relatively stable field fluctuations which can form after inflation under suitable conditions. In order to reheat the universe, the fields whi…

Parametric resonance after hilltop inflation caused by an inhomogeneous inflaton field
Stefan Antusch, Francesco Cefala, David Nolde +1
We study preheating after hilltop inflation where the inflaton couples to another scalar field, e.g. a right-handed sneutrino, which provides a mechanism for generating the correct…

Hill crossing during preheating after hilltop inflation
Stefan Antusch, David Nolde, Stefano Orani
In 'hilltop inflation', inflation takes place when the inflaton field slowly rolls from close to a maximum of its potential (i.e. the 'hilltop') towards its minimum. When the infla…
