abstract

A semiclassical calculation of particle production by a scalar field in a potential is performed. We focus on the particular case of production of fermions by a Nambu-Goldstone boson $\theta$. We have derived a (non)local equation of motion for the $\theta$-field with the backreaction of the produced particles taken into account. The equation is solved in some special cases, namely for purely Nambu-Goldstone bosons and for the tilted potential $ U(\theta ) \propto m^2 \theta^2 $. Enhanced production of bosons due to parametric resonance is investigated; we argue that the resonance probably disappears when the expansion of the universe is included. Application of our work on particle production to reheating and an idea for baryogenesis in inflation are mentioned.

  1. Sign-Flipping Axion Potentials via Kapitza-Type Modulation by Heavy Axions

    hep-ph 2025-09 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Coherent oscillations of a heavy axion change the sign of a light axion's effective potential, trapping it in a false vacuum and boosting its dark matter abundance.

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In Einstein-Cartan gravity, torsion-current couplings induce scalaron-current and scalaron Chern-Simons interactions, with explicit decay constants and a classification of their asymptotic behavior.

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A spectator scalar field coupled to the inflaton and to spacetime curvature yields a first-order correction to the baryon asymmetry in spontaneous baryogenesis, potentially enhancing it by orders of magnitude for smal...
