Gravitational Waves from Fully General Relativistic Oscillon Preheating
Xiao-Xiao Kou, James B. Mertens, Chi Tian +1
As long-lived quasi-solitons from the fragmentation of a scalar condensate, oscillons may dominate the preheating era after inflation. During this period, stochastic gravitational…
Oscillon Preheating in Full General Relativity
Xiao-Xiao Kou, Chi Tian, Shuang-Yong Zhou
Oscillons are dense objects that may be copiously produced in the preheating period after inflation, during which what role general relativity might play is largely unknown. We inv…
Cosmic expansion from spinning black holes
John T. Giblin, James B. Mertens, Glenn D. Starkman +1
We examine how cosmological expansion arises in a universe containing a lattice of spinning black holes. We study averaged expansion properties as a function of fundamental propert…
