Description

We consider an inhomogeneous preheating scenario in multi-field inflationary models. There are at least two fields trapped at the ESP after preheating, one is the inflaton and the other is a ``trapped field'' that plays important role in generating the curvature perturbation. We consider several kinds of the potential for the trapped field, which mimics thermal or quintessential inflation.
