This book provides a pedagogical introduction to the rapidly
growing field of reheating after inflation. It begins with a brief
review of the inflationary paradigm and a motivation for why the
reheating of the universe is an integral part of inflationary
cosmology. It then goes on to survey different aspects of reheating
in a chronological manner, starting from the young, empty and cold
universe at the end of inflation, and going all the way to the hot
and thermal universe at the beginning of the Big Bang
nucleosynthesis epoch. Different particle production mechanisms are
considered with a focus on the non-perturbative excitation of
scalar fields at the beginning of reheating (fermionic and vector
fields are also discussed). This is followed by a review of the
subsequent non-linear dynamical processes, such as soliton
formation and relativistic turbulence. Various thermalization
processes are also discussed. High energy physics embeddings of
phenomenological models as well as observational implications of
reheating such as gravitational waves generation and imprints on
the cosmic microwave background are also covered.
