An EFT with inflaton-dependent axion kinetic term organizes direct decay and annihilation production during reheating, yielding ΔN_eff contributions that scale as T_rh^{-2} and T_rh^{4/3} respectively and allowing a two-dimensional map of constraints on Wilson coefficients and reheating temperature.

Alpha-attractor quintessential inflation models are disfavored by DESI observations and Delta Neff limits from gravitational waves, as they predict an inconsistent scalar spectral index when the gravitational-wave abundance is constrained.
Torsion-induced one-loop corrections can suppress the stochastic gravitational wave signal from inflaton decay by up to two orders of magnitude relative to tree-level predictions.
A sequential majoron-to-neutrinos decay followed by axion-like particle-to-photons decay can lower primordial lithium without exceeding deuterium limits.
Updated model-independent BBN and CMB bounds on photophilic ALPs that incorporate rare decays to light hadrons, show extended constraints for multiple reheating temperatures, and flag parameter space that may alleviate tensions in N_eff and deuterium abundance.
Spontaneous wash-in leptogenesis in Type II Seesaw with Majoron pNGB background enables baryon asymmetry generation alongside dark matter cogenesis for specific v_T, v_sigma and m_j ranges.
TransitionListener v2.0 supplies an end-to-end pipeline from scalar potential to gravitational wave spectra with improved handling of transition dynamics and bubble separation.
Deuterium-to-hydrogen measurements leave most electroweak baryogenesis parameter space unconstrained while imposing stronger exclusions on alternative baryogenesis models.
