In this work, we study the problem of the reconstruction of the physics of inflation using current and future cosmological data from cosmic microwave background and gravitational waves experiments. In particular, we focus on the so-called (supergravity) α-attractor models of inflation constraining the shape of the potential as well as the reheating properties of the these models.

Abstract

In this work, we study the problem of the reconstruction of the physics of inflation using current and future cosmological data from cosmic microwave background and gravitational waves experiments. In particular, we focus on the so-called (supergravity) α-attractor models of inflation constraining the shape of the potential as well as the reheating properties of the these models. Furthermore, we approach the problem of the reconstruction of the variation of the inflaton field during inflation providing a next order expression in terms of the inflationary variables.
