Reheating in a modified teleparallel model of inflation

Understand

We study the cosmological inflation and reheating in a teleparallel model of gravity.

• Reheating is assumed to be due to the decay of a scalar field to radiation during its rapid oscillation.
• By using cosmological perturbations during inflation, and subsequent evolutions of the Universe, we calculate the reheating temperature as a function of the spectral index and the power spectrum.
