Equation-of-state parameter for reheating
Constraints to the parameters of inflation models are often derived assuming some plausible range for the number---e.g., ${N}_{k}=46$ to ${N}_{k}=60$---of $e$-folds of inflation that occurred between the time that our current observable Universe exited the horizon and the end of inflation. However, that number is, for any specific inflaton potential, …
