interactions are present in the theory which allow one inflaton particle to decay to several
other particles, for example, an interaction with fermionsψψφ ̄.

resonance, a small dark region in the left-hand corner near the origin corresponds to the
perturbative decayφ→χχ. Unless additional interactions are included (see figure 4.7), a
complete decay of the inflaton field is possible only in this small area.
