Comments on "Analytic and Numerical Study of Preheating Dynamics"
  In a recent paper Boyanovsky et al (hep-ph/9608205) studied preheating for a particular theory of the inflaton field. Although they results essentially confirm those of the original papers on reheating after inflation, they claimed that most of the earlier works on preheating did not take into account backreaction of created particles, misused the Mathieu equation, and were inconclusive about the symmetry restoration after preheating. We explain why we cannot agree with these statements.
