Cosmological gravitational particle production (GPP) is a generic mechanism by which particles are produced during the inflationary epoch. In this work we consider the GPP of massive scalars in an effort to fully understand the spectrum of the produced particles. We consider scalars which are conformally or minimally coupled to gravity, as well as models of both early and late reheating. We numerically calculate the particle production in each scenario and compare the results to analytic approximations from boundary matching, Stokes phenomenon, steepest descent, and inflaton scattering methods. For each method, we describe the regime of validity and show that there is good agreement between the analytic and numerical results.

Aspects of Gravitational Portals and Freeze-in during Reheating
During reheating, freeze-in from the gravitationally produced radiation bath can dominate the dark matter relic density for DM masses above the reheating temperature, with k- and n-dependent constraints.

Gravitational Dark Matter Production in Supergravity $\alpha$-Attractor Inflation
Supergravity corrections in α-attractor inflation suppress gravitational dark matter production and shift the required reheating temperature to 10^3-10^7 GeV.

Cosmological scalar perturbations in Horndeski-like gravity
For a Horndeski-like scalar-tensor model with a chosen background solution, scalar stability and entropy-production bounds restrict the coupling gamma to be non-positive and constrain gamma*Lambda relative to alpha.
