New approach to the evolution of cosmological perturbations on large scales
We discuss the evolution of linear perturbations about a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker
background metric, using only the local conservation of energy momentum. We show that on …

Log-dependent slope of scalar induced gravitational waves in the infrared regions
C Yuan, ZC Chen, QG Huang - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We analytically calculate the scalar induced gravitational waves (SIGWs) and find a log-
dependent slope of SIGW in the infrared regions (f< fc), namely n GW (f)= 3-2/ln (fc/f), and n …

Stochastic gravitational wave production after inflation
In many models of inflation, the period of accelerated expansion ends with preheating, a
highly non-thermal phase of evolution during which the inflaton pumps energy into a specific …

Gravitational wave production at the end of inflation
We consider gravitational wave production due to parametric resonance at the end of
inflation, or “preheating.” This leads to large inhomogeneities that source a stochastic …

Gauge-preheating and the end of axion inflation
P Adshead, JT Giblin Jr, TR Scully… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the onset of the reheating epoch at the end of axion-driven inflation where the
axion is coupled to an Abelian, U (1), gauge field via a Chern-Simons interaction term. We …
