It simulates the nonlinear dynamics of a scalar field on a three-dimensional lattice in an expanding FLRW universe using finite-difference spatial derivatives. Based in part on the well-known LATTICEEASY, it incorporates several features tailored specifically to inflationary applications, including a nonperturbative $\\delta N$ method to compute the curvature perturbation at the end of inflation $\\zeta$ directly from the lattice. In addition to the scalar sector, the code can also simulate scalar-induced gravitational waves, accounting for contributions generated both during inflation and during the subsequent horizon re-entry of scalar perturbations, and enabling the computation of the resulting gravitational-wave background. \\texttt{InflationEasy} enables fully nonlinear studies of regimes with large fluctuations or nonperturbative non-Gaussianities, which lie beyond the reach of standard perturbation theory. It is applicable to a broad range of inflationary models, including those relevant for primordial black hole formation, gravitational-wave backgrounds, and large-scale structure.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.11797v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.11797v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"inflationeasy-a-c-lattice-code-for-inflation","repo_url":"https://github.com/caravangelo/inflation-easy","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
