Effects of Reheating on Moduli Stabilization

Understand

Moduli potential loses its minima due to external energy sources of inflaton energy density or radiation produced at the end of inflation.

• But, the non-existence of minima does not necessarily mean destabilization of moduli.
• In fact, the destabilization of moduli is always dependent on the initial field values of the fields.
• In this work, we study carefully how the effects of reheating ease the problem of moduli destabilization.
