Abstract: We study chaotic dynamics in preheating after inflation in which an inflaton $phi$ is coupled to another scalar field $chi$ through an interaction $(1/2)g^{2}ph{i}^{2}ch{i}^2$. We first estimate the size of the quasi-homogeneous field $chi$ at the beginning of reheating for large-field inflaton potentials $V(phi)=V_{0}ph{i}^n$ by evaluating the amplitude of the $chi$ fluctuations on scales larger than the Hubble radius at the end of inflation. Parametric excitations of the field $chi$ during preheating can give rise to chaos between two dynamical scalar fields. For the quartic potential ($n=4$, $V_0=lambda/4$) chaos actually occurs for $g^2/lambda<calO(10)$ in a linear regime before which the backreaction of created particles becomes important. This analysis is supported by several different criteria for the existence of chaos. For the quadratic potential ($n=2$) the signature of chaos is not found by the time at which the backreaction begins to work, similar to the case of the quartic potential with $g^2/lambdagg1$.
