We use Instant Preheating as a mechanism to reheat the universe when its evolution is modeled by a non-oscillating background. Once we obtain the reheating temperature, we calculate the number of e-folds using two different methods, which…

Attention has been recently drawn towards models in which inflation and quintessence schemes are unified. In such `quintessential inflation' models, a unique scalar field is required to play both the role of the inflaton and of the…
