  It is possible that there may exist long-range forces in addition to gravity.
In this paper we construct a simple model for such a force based on exchange of
a massless scalar field and analyze its effect on the evolution of a
homogeneous Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology. The presence of such an
interaction leads to an equation of state characterized by positive pressure
and to resonant particle production similar to that observed in preheating
scenarios.
