Theory of self-resonance after inflation. I. Adiabatic and isocurvature Goldstone modes

We develop a theory of self-resonance after inflation. We study a large class of models involving multiple scalar fields with an internal symmetry. For illustration, we often specialize to dimension-four potentials, but we derive results for general potentials. This is the first part of a two part s...
