Preheating after multifield inflation with nonminimal couplings. I. Covariant formalism and attractor behavior

This is the first of a three-part series of papers, in which we study the preheating phase for multifield models of inflation involving nonminimal couplings. In this paper, we study the single-field attractor behavior that these models exhibit during inflation and quantify its strength and parameter...
