Journal ArticleDOI
Reheating in Inflationary Cosmology: Theory and Applications
TL;DR: A review of the reheating process is given in this article, focusing on an in-depth discussion of the preheating stage which is characterized by exponential particle production due to a parametric resonance or tachyonic instability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards a nonsingular bouncing cosmology
TL;DR: In this paper, a nonsingular bouncing cosmology using single scalar field matter with non-trivial potential and non-standard kinetic term is presented, where the potential sources a dynamical attractor solution with Ekpyrotic contraction which washes out small amplitude anisotropies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bouncing Cosmologies: Progress and Problems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the status of bouncing cosmologies as alternatives to cosmological inflation for providing a description of the very early universe, and a source for the Cosmological perturbations which are observed today.
