Inflation and reheating predictions in polynomial inflation with small and large fields

We explore the inflationary dynamics and reheating predictions of the fourth-order generalized polynomial inflation model featuring adjustable saddle-point position and flatness near the saddle point for both small and large field cases, based on the latest Planck 2018 Cosmic Microwave Background (C...
