Reheating after Inflation
Open accessAbstract
The theory of reheating of the Universe after inflation is developed. We have found that typically at the first stage of reheating the classical inflation field $\ensuremath{\varphi}$ rapidly decays into $\ensuremath{\varphi}$ particles or into other bosons due to a broad parametric resonance. Then these bosons decay into other particles, which eventually become thermalized. Complete reheating is possible only in those theories where a single particle $\ensuremath{\varphi}$ can decay into other particles. This imposes strong constraints on the structure of inflationary models, and implies that the inflation field can be a dark matter candidate.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
