Resonant re-formation of the vacuum

Abstract

It is shown that in a system of two interacting scalar fields, low amplitude coherent oscillations of one about its minimum can resonantly excite the other such that the latter can make a transition from a given vacuum state to another local minimum state. This phenomenon can have important applications for the inflationary scenarios and can lead to a re-formation of the vacuum structures after inflation. (author). 2 refs, 1 fig.
