“…Even in this simple case, the post-inflation epoch can host interesting nonlinear physics. In particular, for M M P , as the field explores the flatter-than-quadratic region of the potential (φ M with α < 2), broad self-resonance drives copious production of oscillons [117,118,119,120,121,122,123]. Oscillons are highly overdense, spatially localized, exceptionally long-lived field configurations [124,125,126,127,128,129,130] where the field amplitude in their cores does not redshift as the universe expands.…”
