We study perturbations of a complex scalar field during reheating with no self-interaction in the regime $ \mu \gg H$, when the scalar field has a fast oscillatory behaviour (close to a pressure-less fluid). We focus on the precise…
The abundance of primordial black holes (PBHs) in the mass range $0.1 - 10^3 M_\odot$ can potentially be tested by gravitational wave observations due to the large merger rate of PBH binaries formed in the early universe. To put the…
