| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
There are increasing observational evidence of the existence of accelerated expansion era in the very early Universe, called inflation. On the other hand, the physics of ``reheating'' after inflation has been unclear both theoretically and observationally. I studied the physics of reheating in detail, and found rich phenomena which had not been known so far, for example, the decay of Higgs vacuum during reheating, violent particle production phenomena, reheating through gravitational effects. All these results are important as new probes of inflationary Universe.
