If the inflaton is a heavy scalar field, it may equilibrate slower than some other degrees of freedom, e.g. non-Abelian gauge bosons. In this case, perturbations in the inflaton field and in a thermal plasma coexist from a given moment…
General-relativistic stable spacetimes can be made unstable under the presence of certain nonminimally coupled free scalar fields. In this paper, we analyze the evolution of linear scalar-field perturbations in spherically symmetric…

We use perturbations in order to study the stability of the Cauchy Horizon in a Reissner-Nordstr\"om space-time. The perturbations are either scalar or gravitational, and indicate some strong instabilities.
