Observational constraints on reheating in braneworld inflation

Abstract

The reheating era after inflation is analyzed in the framework of the braneworld models. We study reheating by calculating the reheating temperature in a braneworld inflation for various cosmological parameters. The variation of reheating [Formula: see text]-folding number and reheating temperature were obtained and analyzed as function of a spectrum of perturbation for a polynomial potential [Formula: see text]. We have applied the slow-roll approximation in the high energy limit to constraint the parameter potentials by confronting our results to recent Planck 2018 observations. We have shown that in general the best values of the predicted reheating temperature is of the order [Formula: see text] GeV, with a brane tension [Formula: see text] GeV4. We have also shown that the polynomial potential in the case [Formula: see text] provides the best fit results with recent observational constraints.
