abstract

Inflationary reheating via resonant production of non-minimally coupled scalar particles with only gravitational coupling is shown to be extremely strong, exhibiting a negative coupling instability for $\xi < 0$ and a wide resonance decay for $\xi \gg 1$. Since non-minimal fields are generic after renormalisation in curved spacetime, this offers a new paradigm in reheating - one which naturally allows for efficient production of the massive bosons needed for GUT baryogenesis. We also show that both vector and tensor fields are produced resonantly during reheating, extending the previously known correspondences between bosonic fields of different spins during preheating.

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Presents a self-consistent reduction of non-local next-to-leading-order 2PI equations to local quantum kinetic equations that incorporate momentum exchange during tachyonic instabilities.

  2. Potential Surge Preheating: enhanced resonance from potential features

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Localized Gaussian features added to the quadratic inflaton potential near its minimum enhance preheating and can drive the equation of state to a radiation-like value, leaving distinctive gravitational wave and Neff ...

  3. Gravitational scalar production with a generic reheating scenario

    hep-ph 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Gravitational scalar production yields reheating-dependent constraints on dark matter scalars, with dilution preserving viability for k<4 low-temperature reheating and factorization in multi-stage cases.

  4. Is the formation of primordial black holes from single-field inflation compatible with standard cosmology?

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Producing primordial black holes in single-field inflation typically forces more than about 55 e-folds after CMB-mode exit, conflicting with standard reheating unless the model is retuned or reheating is exotic.
