The evolution of the cosmological perturbation during the oscillatory stageof the scalar field is investigated. For the power law potential of theinflaton field, the evolution equation of the Mukhanov's gauge invariantvariable is reduced to the Mathieu equation and the density perturbation growsby the parametric resonance.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figure
