CMB constraints on dark matter phenomenology via reheating in minimal plateau inflation

Abstract: We consider the CMB constraints on reheating and dark matter parameter space for a specific plateau type inflationary model. The plateau inflationary models which are currently most favored models from data can be well approximated by a potential of the form $V(\phi)\propto \phi^n$ around $\phi=0$. This fact makes it possible to study the reheating phase with general inflaton equation of state in a viable cosmological scenario. In addition, following our recent work[1], we generalize the connection between reheating and the present CMB data and the dark matter parameter space for general inflaton equation of state parameter.
