Reconstructing k-inflation from $n_s(N)$ and reheating constraints
Abstract
Inspired by the reconstruction scheme of the inflaton field potential from the attractors, we investigate the viability of reconstruct the inflationary potential within the framework of k-inflation for a non-linear kinetic term through three expressions for the scalar spectral index , namely: (i) , (ii) , and (iii) . For each reconstructed potential, we determine the values of the parameter space which characterize it by requiring that it must reproduce the observable parameters from PLANCK 2018 and BICEP/Keck results. Furthermore, we analyze the reheating era by assuming a constant equation of state, in which we derive the relations between the reheating duration, the temperature at the end of reheating together with the reheating epoch, and the number of -folds during inflation. In this sense, we unify the inflationary observables in order to narrow the parameter space of each model within the framework of the reconstruction in k-inflation.
