Unification of inflation and dark matter

Speakers

Description

We review the conditions for a single field to be responsible for inflation and dark matter in the Universe, and the observational constraints that should be accomplished for that purpose. As an example, we take a minimally coupled scalar field endowed with a quadratic potential; we shall show that this model seems to require a second period of inflation in order to satisfy the observational constraints on dark matter.
