Reheating and Particle Production in No-Scale Supergravity and Starobinsky-like Models of Inflation

Explore the intricacies of inflationary models in no-scale supergravity and their connection to R+R^2 gravity models in this comprehensive lecture by Keith Olive from the University of Minnesota. Delve into the construction of Starobinsky-like models of inflation and examine the process of reheating after inflation. Investigate mechanisms for the gravitational production of matter within these theoretical frameworks. This 1-hour 13-minute talk, presented at ICTP-SAIFR / IFT-UNESP, offers an in-depth look at cutting-edge research in theoretical cosmology and particle physics, providing valuable insights for researchers and advanced students in the field.
