Reheating through the Higgs amplified by spinodal instabilities and gravitational creation of gravitons
arXiv:1803.07111 · doi:10.1093/ptep/ptz014
Abstract
It is shown that a positive non-minimal coupling of the Higgs field to gravity can solve the two problems in inflation models in which postinflationary universe is dominated by an energy with stiff equation of state such as a kination, namely, overproduction of gravitons in gravitational reheating scenario, and overproduction of curvature perturbation from Higgs condensation. Furthermore, we argue that the non-minimal coupling parameter can be constrained more stringently with the progress in observations of large-scale structure and cosmic microwave background.
