Dynamics of symmetry breaking and tachyonic preheating

G Felder, J Garcia-Bellido, PB Greene, L Kofman… - Physical Review Letters, 2001 - APS
We reconsider the old problem of the dynamics of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB)
using 3D lattice simulations. We develop a theory of tachyonic preheating, which occurs due to …

Structure of resonance in preheating after inflation

PB Greene, L Kofman, A Linde, AA Starobinsky - Physical Review D, 1997 - APS
We consider preheating in the theory 1 4 λ φ 4+ 1 2 g 2 φ 2 χ 2, where the classical oscillating
inflaton field φ (t) decays into χ particles and φ particles. The parametric resonance which …

Preheating of fermions

PB Greene, L Kofman - Physics Letters B, 1999 - Elsevier
In inflationary cosmology, the particles constituting the Universe are created after inflation in
the process of reheating due to their interaction with the oscillating inflaton field. In the …

Correlated fluctuations in luminosity distance and the importance of peculiar motion in supernova surveys

L Hui, PB Greene - Physical Review D, 2006 - APS
Large scale structure introduces two different kinds of errors in the luminosity distance
estimates from standardizable candles such as supernovae Ia (SNe)—a Poissonian scatter for …

Theory of fermionic preheating

PB Greene, L Kofman - Physical Review D, 2000 - APS
In inflationary cosmology, the particles constituting the universe are created after inflation
due to their interaction with moving inflaton field (s) in the process of preheating. In the …

Spinors, inflation, and non-singular cyclic cosmologies

C Armendariz-Picon, PB Greene - General Relativity and Gravitation, 2003 - Springer
We consider toy cosmological models in which a classical, homogeneous, spinor field
provides a dominant or sub-dominant contribution to the energy-momentum tensor of a flat …

Everpresent

M Ahmed, S Dodelson, PB Greene, R Sorkin - Physical Review D, 2004 - APS
A variety of observations indicate that the Universe is dominated by “dark energy” with
negative pressure, one possibility for which is a cosmological constant. If the dark energy is a …

ALE3D: An arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian multi-physics code

…, ER Diana, TA Dunn, DR Faux, AC Fisher, PT Greene… - 2017 - osti.gov
ALE3D is a multi-physics numerical simulation software tool utilizing arbitrary-Lagrangian-
Eulerian (ALE) techniques. The code is written to address both two-dimensional (2D plane …

Development and breakdown of Gortler vortices in high speed boundary layers

F Li, M Choudhari, CL Chang, P Greene… - 48th AIAA aerospace …, 2010 - arc.aiaa.org
Boundary-layer flow over a concave wall is subject to the Görtler instability, which is typically
manifested in the form of counter-rotating pairs of stationary streamwise vortices. Regions of …

Sine-Gordon parametric resonance

PB Greene, L Kofman, AA Starobinsky - Nuclear Physics B, 1999 - Elsevier
We consider the instability of fluctuations in an oscillating scalar field which obeys the sine-Gordon
equation. We present simple closed-form analytic solutions describing the parametric …
