    • This potential has its global minimum at σ = ( 5 V0/ α )1/4, where β = 4 α / 5 sigma and density perturbations of the appropriate amplitude imply α = 3 times 10-13. Such a nonrenormalizable potential could arise in the effective Lagrangian at low energies.

    • There are possibilities for improving the reheating efficiency. The strict constraint to the coupling of the field into which the phi decays can be circumvented if there are two contributions to its mass, of opposite sign, so that its coupling to the phi can exceed this bound. Further, the highest temperature reached after inflation occurs just when the phi particles begin to decay, Tmaxapeq ( TRHscrM )1/2. However, as the temperature falls from Tmax to TRH the entropy per comoving volume increases by ( Tmax/ TRH)5. In spite of the entropy production it may be possible to take advantage of this fact.
