In this paper, we discuss the constraints on the reheating temperature supposing an early post-reheating cosmological phase dominated by one or more simple scalar fields produced from inflaton decay and decoupled from matter and radiation. In addition, we explore the combined effects of the reheating and non-standard scalar field phases on the inflationary number of $e$-foldings.

According to the most popular scenario, the early Universe should have experienced an accelerated expansion phase, called Cosmological Inflation, after which the standard Big Bang Cosmology would have taken place giving rise to the radiation-dominate
d epoch. However, the details of the inflationary scenario are far to be completely understood. Thus, in this paper we study if possible additional (exotic) cosmological phases could delay the beginning of the standard Big Bang history and alter some theoretical predictions related to the inflationary cosmological perturbations, like, for instance, the order of magnitude of the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$.
We consider cosmological inflationary models in which vector fields play some role in the generation of the primordial curvature perturbation $zeta$. Such models are interesting because the involved vector fields naturally seed statistical anisotropy
in the primordial fluctuations which could eventually leave a measurable imprint on the cosmic microwave background fluctuations. In this article, we estimate the scale and shape dependent effects on the non-Gaussianity (NG) parameters due to the scale dependent statistical anisotropy in the distribution of the fluctuations. For concreteness, we use a power spectrum (PS) of the fluctuations of the quadrupolar form: $P_zeta(vec{k})equiv P_zeta(k)[1+g_zeta(k)(hat{n} cdot hat{k})^2 ]$, where $g_{zeta}(k)$ is the only quantity which parametrizes the level of statistical anisotropy and $hat{n}$ is a unitary vector which points towards the preferred direction. Then, we evaluate the contribution of the running of $g_{zeta}(k)$ on the NG parameters by means of the $delta N$ formalism. We focus specifically on the details for the $f_{rm NL}$ NG parameter, associated with the bispectrum $B_zeta$, but the structure of higher order NG parameters is straightforward to generalize. Although the level of statistical anisotropy in the PS is severely constrained by recent observations, the importance of statistical anisotropy signals in higher order correlators remains to be determined, this being the main task that we address here. The precise measurement of the shape and scale dependence (or running) of statistical parameters such as the NG parameters and the statistical anisotropy level could provide relevant elements for model building and for the determination of the presence (or nonpresence) of inflationary vector fields and their role in the inflationary mechanism.
In a logamediate inflationary universe model we introduce the curvaton field in order to bring this inflationary model to an end. In this approach we determine the reheating temperature. We also outline some interesting constraints on the parameters
that describe our models. Thus, we give the parameter space in this scenario.
The calculation of scalar gravitational and matter perturbations during multiple-field inflation valid to first order in slow roll is discussed. These fields may be the coordinates of a non-trivial field manifold and hence have non-minimal kinetic te
rms. A basis for these perturbations determined by the background dynamics is introduced, and the slow-roll functions are generalized to the multiple-field case. Solutions for a perturbation mode in its three different behavioural regimes are combined, leading to an analytic expression for the correlator of the gravitational potential. Multiple-field effects caused by the coupling to the field perturbation perpendicular to the field velocity can even contribute at leading order. This is illustrated numerically with an example of a quadratic potential. (The material here is based on previous work by the authors presented in hep-ph/0107272.)
In this paper the scalar-tensor theory of gravity is assumed to describe the evolution of the universe and the gravitational scalar $phi$ is ascribed to play the role of inflaton. The theory is characterized by the specified coupling function $omega(
phi)$ and the cosmological function $lambda(phi)$. The function $lambda(phi)$ is nearly constant for $0<phi<0.1$ and $lambda(1)=0$. The functions $lambda(phi)$ and $omega(phi)$ provide a double-well potential for the motion of $phi(t)$. Inflation commences and ends naturally by the dynamics of the scalar field. The energy density of matter increases steadily during inflation. When the constant $Gamma$ in the action is determined by the present matter density, the temperature at the end of inflation is of the order of $10^{14} GeV$ in no need of reheating. Furthermore, the gravitational scalar is just the cold dark matter that men seek for.
