Gravitational production of scalar dark matter

Abstract We investigate the gravitational production of scalar dark matter particles during the inflationary and reheating epochs. The oscillatory behavior of the curvature scalar R during the reheating phase generates two different enhancement mechanisms in the particle production. On the one hand,...
