Reheating, Multifield Inflation and the Fate of the Primordial Observables

We study the effects of perturbative reheating on the evolution of the curvature perturbation \zeta, in two-field inflation models. We use numerical methods to explore the sensitivity of f_NL, n_s and r to the reheating process, and present simple qualitative arguments to explain our results. In gen...
