abstract
Polynomial inflation is a simple cosmological scenario, which fits the cosmic microwave background data well. It provides testable predictions for the tensor-to-scalar ratio and the running of the spectral index. In this work, we investigate the production of Dirac dark matter (DM) within the framework of large-field polynomial inflation. We study all relevant production channels including $i$) non-thermal production through inflaton decays and scatterings, and $ii$) thermal production from scattering of standard model particles mediated by inflatons and gravitons. In contrast to small-field polynomial inflation, where inflaton decay dominates DM production, we find that graviton-mediated processes can be dominant in the large-field scenario. For DM lighter than the inflaton, we demonstrate that the interplay between graviton- and inflaton-mediated production channels give rise to non-trivial relations between the DM mass and the reheating temperature required to account for the DM relic abundance.

Primordial Gravitational Waves from Phase Transitions during Reheating
Phase transitions happening during reheating can produce gravitational-wave signals that are delayed, prolonged, and shifted in amplitude and frequency by orders of magnitude compared with standard cosmology.

Probing Gravitational Dark Matter with Ultra-high Frequency Gravitational Waves
The thermal gravitational wave amplitude at around 100 GHz is set by the mass and spin of purely gravitational dark matter, so future ultra-high-frequency detectors could probe the scenario.
