abstract

Particle creation during inflation is considered. It could be important for species whose interaction is of gravitational strength or weaker. A complete but economical formalism is given for spin-zero and spin-half particles, and the particle abundance is estimated on the assumption that the particle mass in the early universe is of order the Hubble parameter $H$. It is roughly the same for both spins, and it is argued that the same estimate should hold for higher spin particles in particular the gravitino. The abundance is bigger than that from the usual particle collision mechanism if the inflationary energy scale is of order $10^{16} GeV$, but not if it is much lower.

  1. The effects of non Bunch-Davies initial conditions on gravitationally produced relics

    gr-qc 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Non-Bunch–Davies initial conditions can drastically change gravitationally produced vector dark matter abundances, opening a wider viable mass range.

  2. When direct detection constrains reheating temperature: freeze-in with stronger couplings and inflaton-seeded freeze-in

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Stronger couplings or inflaton-seeded initial abundance allow freeze-in dark matter to match the relic density while evading DAMIC-M and PandaX bounds for reheating temperatures below the electroweak scale.
