abstract
We consider preheating in the theory $1/4 \lambda \phi^4 + 1/2 g^2\phi^2\chi^2 $, where the classical oscillating inflaton field $\phi$ decays into $\chi$-particles and $\phi$-particles. The parametric resonance which leads to particle production in this conformally invariant theory is described by the Lame equation. It significantly differs from the resonance in the theory with a quadratic potential. The structure of the resonance depends in a rather nontrivial way on the parameter $g^2/\lambda$. We construct the stability/instability chart in this theory for arbitrary $g^2/\lambda$. We give simple analytic solutions describing the resonance in the limiting cases $g^2/\lambda\ll 1$ and $g^2/\lambda \gg 1$, and in the theory with $g^2=3\lambda$, and with $g^2 =\lambda$. From the point of view of parametric resonance for $\chi$, the theories with $g^2=3\lambda$ and with $g^2 =\lambda$ have the same structure, respectively, as the theory $1/4 \lambda \phi^4$, and the theory $\lambda /(4 N) (\phi^2_i)^2$ of an N-component scalar field $\phi_i$ in the limit $N \to \infty$. We show that in some of the conformally invariant theories such as the simplest model $1/4 \lambda\phi^4$, the resonance can be terminated by the backreaction of produced particles long before $<\chi^2>$ or $<\phi^2 >$ become of the order $\phi^2$. We analyze the changes in the theory of reheating in this model which appear if the inflaton field has a small mass.

Post-inflationary axion-SU(2) vector dark matter production is recast as a quantum quench with a survival factor that induces an O(1) renormalization of the standard relic abundance.
Gravitational scalar production yields reheating-dependent constraints on dark matter scalars, with dilution preserving viability for k<4 low-temperature reheating and factorization in multi-stage cases.
Thermal bath corrections derived via thermofield dynamics enhance the evaporation rate of primordial black holes, shortening their lifetimes relative to zero-temperature calculations.
Dark matter freezes in from non-thermal Z' decays before reheating ends in an inflationary model with a secluded U(1)_D gauge sector, Z' reheaton, and lattice treatment of non-perturbative effects, opening viable parameter space with GW probes.
Lattice simulations show that the post-inflationary equation of state with trilinear interactions returns to zero after an initial deviation, substantially lowering stochastic gravitational wave amplitudes relative to prior estimates.
Numerical simulations show ghost-normal scalar systems can remain dynamically bounded for long times when initial data is ultraviolet-dominated and low-amplitude, with some nonlinear potentials creating transient metastable states.
Resonant dilatonic coupling produces ultralight vector dark matter with relic mass scaling as m_γ' ∝ r_i^{-2} for subdominant spectators in radiation-dominated backgrounds.
A spectator scalar field with strong portal coupling to the inflaton sources a stochastic gravitational wave background reaching Ω_GW h² ∼ 10^{-11} at frequencies 10^7-10^8 Hz for benchmark parameters σ/λ ≃ 10^4 and T_reh = 2×10^{14} GeV.
In Gauss-Bonnet inflation with monomial potential and coupling, gravitational waves from preheating produce a present-day energy density spectrum consistent with Planck constraints when the coupling strength, equation of state, and efficiency are set to specific values.
