A detailed calculation is given by using Boltzmann equations and decay rates obtained using formalism of quantum field theory in curved spacetime. By numerical calculations the reheating temperature is found to be in the $10^{9}$-$10^{13}$ GeV regime. Moreover, the fermionic channel of decay is found to be the dominant channel of decay when the mass $m$ of the decaying particle is small raising the reheating temperature as opposed to a single scalar decay channel.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/2010.13569v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/2010.13569v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"reheating-in-the-kination-epoch-via-multi","repo_url":"https://github.com/oskarikerppo/reheating-universe","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
