On scalaron decay via the trace of energy-momentum tensor
Abstract In some inflation scenarios such as R 2 inflation, a gravitational scalar degrees of freedom called scalaron is identified as inflaton. Scalaron linearly couples to matter via the trace of energy-momentum tensor. We study scenarios with a sequestered matter sector, where the trace of energy...
