Energy distribution and equation of state of the early Universe: Matching the end of inflation and the onset of radiation domination

We study the energy distribution and equation of state of the universe between the end of inflation and the onset of radiation domination (RD), considering observationally consistent single-field inflationary scenarios, with a potential ‘flattening’ at large field values, and a monomial shape V(ϕ)∝|...
