Recent BICEP/Keck data on the cosmic microwave background, in combination with previous WMAP and Planck data, impose strong new constraints on the tilt in the scalar perturbation spectrum, $n_s$, as well as the tensor-to-scalar ratio, $r$. These constrain the number of e-folds of inflation, $N_*$, the magnitude of the inflaton coupling to matter, $y$, and the reheating temperature, $T_{\rm reh}$, which we evaluate in attractor models of inflation as formulated in no-scale supergravity. The 68% C.L. region of $(n_s, r)$ favours large values of $N_*, y$ and $T_{\rm reh}$ that are constrained by the production of gravitinos and supersymmetric dark matter.

  1. Leptogenesis and Low Reheating Temperatures

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    Standard non-thermal leptogenesis works at arbitrarily low reheating temperatures above the BBN bound when the inflaton potential has a quartic minimum (k≥4), because the inflaton's evolving mass kinematically shuts o...

    Negative field-space curvature enhances post-inflationary Ricci scalar oscillations and boosts CGPP dark matter number density by up to an order of magnitude relative to flat field-space cases, with nontrivial relic a...

  4. Reheating in No-Scale Models of Inflation

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Generalized no-scale models with R=2/(3α) for α≠1 or non-minimal gauge couplings allow unsuppressed inflaton decays, producing calculable reheating temperatures and (n_s,r) predictions.

  5. Thermal effects on Dark Matter production during cosmic reheating

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Thermal corrections to reheating and freeze-in DM production rates are generally small in the computable regime but can be large in constructed counter-examples.
