Inspired by the reconstruction scheme of the inflaton field potential $V(\phi)$ from the attractors$n_s(N)$, we investigate the viability of reconstruct the inflationary potential within the framework of k-inflation for a non-linear kinetic…

We investigate a class of slow roll inflationary models in the light of the recent Cosmic Microwave Background constraints from Planck 2018, ACT DR6, DESI DR1, and BICEP/\textit{Keck} 2018. The combined dataset favors a higher value of the…

After Planck 2013, a broad class of inflationary models called \alpha-attractors was developed which has universal observational predictions. For small values of the parameter \alpha, the models have good consistency with the recent CMB…

Analyses of inflation models are usually conducted assuming a specific range---e.g., $N_k \simeq 50-60$--of the number $N_k$ of $e$-folds of inflation. However, the analysis can also be performed by taking into account constraints imposed…

The Reheating era of inflationary universe can be parameterized by various parameters like reheating temperature \(T_{\text{re}}\), reheating duration \(N_{\text{re}}\) and average equation of state parameter \(\overline{\omega…

The temperature at the end of reheating and the length of this cosmological phase can be bound to the inflationary observables if one considers the cosmological evolution from the time of Hubble crossing until today. There are many examples…

We investigate reheating in the string-theory-motivated K\"ahler Moduli Inflation I (KMII) potential, coupled to a light scalar field $\chi$ and produce constraints and forecasts based on Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and gravitational…

Inflation scenarios kinetically coupled with the Einstein tensor have been widely studied. They can be consistent with current observational data. Future experiments on the measurement on CMB distortions will potentially extend information…

We investigate a constraint on reheating followed by alpha-attractor-type inflation (the E-model and T-model) from an observation of the spectral index n_s. When the energy density of the universe is dominated by an energy component with…

We eliminate the parameters originally present in models of inflation of the $\alpha$-attractor type in favor of the scalar spectral index $n_s$ and the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$. We then write expressions for the number of $e$-folds…

In the recent paper by Mielczarek \emph{et al.} (JCAP {\bf 1007} (2010) 004) an idea of the method which can be used to put some constraint for the reheating phase was proposed. Another method of constraining the reheating temperature has…

We consider the CMB constraints on reheating and dark matter parameter space for a specific plateau type inflationary model. The plateau inflationary models which are currently most favored models from data can be well approximated by a…

We derive the first systematic observational constraints on reheating in models of inflation where an additional light scalar field contributes to primordial density perturbations and affects the expansion history during reheating. This…
