Revisiting Scalar Tensor inflation by swampland criteria and Reheating

The scenario of the slow-roll inflation is studied in the frame of the scalar-tensor theory of gravity where the scalar field has a non-minimal coupling to the geometric part. After deriving the main dynamical and perturbation equations, the model is investigated in detail for different functions of the potential and the coupling function. Considering the consistency of the model with observational model results into specific ranges for the free constants of the model. Then, the obtained ranges are reconsidered to realize whether they satisfy the swampland criteria. It is found that the swampland criteria impose another limitation and reduce the ranges. Using the final outcomes for the free constants of the model, we briefly consider the reheating phase to find out about the number of e-fold for the phase and the reheating temperature.
