Exploring the impact of Tree Level Higgs Potential on Reheating in f(Q) Gravity

Abstract

This article investigates the effects of Tree Level Higgs Potential on reheating in $f(Q)$ gravity. We examine the formalism of tree level inflation in a modified $f(Q)$ model, finding that the slow roll and e-folds number during inflation depend on the $f(Q)$ model $\alpha $ parameter. Additionally, we calculate the reheating as a function of the decay rate, constraining the inflationary parameters and reheating temperature. Our study reveals that the Tree Level Higgs Potential influences the reheating temperature and decay rate. We conclude that increasing the decay rate energy leads to higher reheating temperature, and the chosen $\alpha$ parameter affects the reheating temperature curve. This research advances our understanding of the interplay between Tree Level Higgs inflation, matter production, and modified gravity in $f(Q)$ gravity.
