Quintessential Inflation and Cosmological See-Saw Mechanism: Reheating and Observational Constraints [CEA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2102.09514


Recently a new kind of quintessential inflation coming from the Lorentzian distribution has been introduced in [1,2]. The model leads to a very simple potential, which basically depends on two parameters, belonging to the class of $\alpha$-attractors and depicting correctly the early and late time accelerations of our universe. The potential emphasizes a {\it cosmological see-saw mechanism} (CSSM) that produces a large inflationary vacuum energy in one side of the potential and a very small value of dark energy on the right hand side of the potential. {Here we show that the model agrees with the recent observations and with the reheating constraints. Therefore the model gives a reasonable scenario beyond the standard $\Lambda$CDM that includes the inflationary epoch.}
