Abstract

The evolution of the cosmological perturbation during the oscillatory stage of the scalar field is investigated. For the power law potential of the inflaton field, the evolution equation of Mukhanov's gauge invariant variable is reduced to the Mathieu equation, and the density perturbation grows due to parametric resonance.
