چکیده
Our present understanding of the reheating phase is incomplete due to a lack observations. Apart from its cosmological implications, should play vital role in particle physics and inflation model building. Conventionally, dynamics are modeled by invoking arbitrary coupling among inflaton daughter fields. Such an approach lacks robust predictions, couplings, difficult verify through observation. In this paper, we propose minimal scenario, where coupled with all fields only gravitationally. Besides being successful Universe, scenario offers strong prediction primordial gravitational wave spectrum discards large number possible models dark matter that otherwise consistent Planck.

Parametric Amplification of Gravitational Fluctuations During Reheating
We demonstrate that cosmological perturbations can undergo amplification by parametric resonance during the preheating period following inflation, even on scales larger than the Hubble radius, without violating causality. A unified description of gravitational and matter fluctuations is crucial in order to determine the strength of the instability. To extract specific signatures of the oscillat...
متن کاملProbing reheating temperature of the universe with gravitational wave background
Thermal history of the universe after big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) is well understood both theoretically and observationally, and recent cosmological observations also begin to reveal the inflationary dynamics. However, the epoch between inflation and BBN is scarcely known. In this paper we show that the detection of the stochastic gravitational wave background around 1Hz provides useful info...
متن کاملA Semi-Analytic Model for Cosmological Reheating and Reionization Due to the Gravitational Collapse of Structure
We present a semi-analytic model for the thermal and ionization history of the universe at 1000 & z & 3. This model incorporates much of the essential physics included in full-scale hydrodynamical simulations, such as (1) gravitational collapse and virialization; (2) star/quasar formation and subsequent ionizing radiation; (3) heating and cooling; (4) atomic and molecular physics of hydrogen; a...
متن کاملChaotic Reheating
We discuss the structure of parametric resonance which occurs in the process of reheating after inflation with two interacting scalar fields. It is found that, for the case of a not too large coupling constant, a quasi-homogeneous part of the second, initially subdominant scalar field may not be neglected due to its stochastic growth during inflation. This fact has strong consequences for the r...
متن کاملReheating from Tachyon Condensation
We argue that it may be possible to reheat the universe after inflation driven by D-brane annihilation, due to the coupling of massless fields to the time-dependent tachyon condensate which describes the annihilation process. This mechanism can work if the original branes annihilate to a stable brane containing the standard model. Given reasonable assumptions about the shape of the tachyon back...
