Brane inflation driven by an arctan potential: CMB constraints and reheating

We investigate the early universe evolution in the context of brane inflation driven by a supergravity-inspired arctan potential. We performed a slow-roll and a semi-analytical reheating analyses and obtained constraints on the inflationary parameters in agreement with Planck 2018 data. We also empl...

Description
Summary:We investigate the early universe evolution in the context of brane inflation driven by a supergravity-inspired arctan potential. We performed a slow-roll and a semi-analytical reheating analyses and obtained constraints on the inflationary parameters in agreement with Planck 2018 data. We also employed a Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis to perform a parameter estimation of the cosmological parameters, obtaining results in good agreement with the currently available cosmic microwave background and baryon acoustic oscillation data. This work establishes the general theoretical predictions of the arctan model, with the results of the statistical analysis corroborating its observational viability.
