Description

Co-Discussion Leaders: Mustafa Amin, Tom Giblin

This block is focused on the manner in which inflation ends and on the modifications to
the subsequent cosmological timeline that can take place in particular kinds of
inflationary scenarios. This includes scenarios in which reheating takes place at late
times/low temperatures, and also scenarios in which states/structures produced at the
end of inflation subsequently come to dominate the energy density of the universe or
affect the expansion history in other ways.
