Certain dissipative Ginzburg-Landau models predict existence of planar interfaces moving with constant velocity. In most cases the interface solutions are hard to obtain because pertinent evolution equations are nonlinear. We present a…
We present the first fully non-linear calculation of inflaton decay. We map inflaton decay onto an equivalent classical problem and solve the latter numerically. In the $\lambda\phi^4$ model, we find that parametric resonance develops…
