Coherent scalar-field oscillations in an expanding universe

Turner, Michael S.·1983·Physical Review D

Abstract

Motivated by the cosmological importance of coherent (classical), scalar-field oscillations in the context of the invisible axion and the new inflationary-universe scenario, we analyze, in general, the classical evolution of a scalar field in an isotropic and homogeneous cosmology. For a scalar potential of the form $V(\ensuremath{\varphi})=a{\ensuremath{\varphi}}^{n}$, the energy density of the scalar-field oscillations decreases as ${R}^{\ensuremath{-}\frac{6n}{(n+2)}}$ when the oscillations are rapid compared to the expansion rate ($R=\mathrm{cosmic}\mathrm{scale}\mathrm{factor}$). We also investigate the effect of higher-order terms in the potential perturbatively, and analyze the decay of the coherent field oscillations due to quantum particle creation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
