Description
According to the inflationary theory of cosmology, most elementary particles in the current universe were created during a period of reheating after inflation.
We couple the inflaton to a holographic strongly-coupled QFT
and study thermalization after inflation.
As holographic theories generically thermalize instantly, this setup provides a parametrically different paradigm for reheating after inflation.
