Abstract

We study reheating of inflationary models with general non-minimal coupling K(ϕ)RK(\phi)R with K(ϕ)V(ϕ)K(\phi)\sim \sqrt{V(\phi)} where RR is the Ricci scalar and VV is the inflaton potential. In particular, when we take the monomial potential K(ϕ)ϕmK(\phi) \propto \phi^m with mZ+m \in \mathbb{Z}_+, we provide general analytic expressions for cosmological observables. We consider a wide range of non-minimal coupling ξ[0,) \xi \in [0, \infty) in metric and Palatini formalisms and derive the predictions for cosmological observables and the reheating temperature taking a general equation of state parameter wreh w_\text{reh} .
