I review the theory of preheating after inflation, focusing on the recently found tachyonic preheating in the theories with spontaneous symmetry breaking. This occurs due to the tachyonic instability of the scalar field near the top of its…
The sympathetic cooling of an initially degenerate Fermi gas by either an ideal Bose gas below $T_c$ or an ideal Boltzmann gas is investigated. It is shown that the efficiency of cooling by a Bose gas below $T_c$ is by no means reduced when…
