Gravitational production of dark matter in the Peebles–Vilenkin model
Abstract The gravitational production of superheavy dark matter, in the Peebles-Vilenkin quintessential inflation model, is studied in two different scenarios: When the particles, whose decay products reheat the universe after the end of the inflationary period, are created gravitationally, and when...
