Challenges for inflaton dark matter
We examine an intriguing possibility that a single field is responsible for both inflation and dark matter, focusing on the minimal set–up where inflation is driven by a scalar coupling to curvature. We study in detail the reheating process in this framework, which amounts mainly to particle product...
