## TL;DR

This paper investigates quantum tunneling in Reissner-Nordstrom geometry and proposes a cosmological model where such tunneling could lead to cosmic inflation, reheating, and radiation-dominated expansion.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel scenario linking quantum tunneling in charged black hole geometries to cosmic inflation and subsequent universe evolution.

## Key findings

- Quantum tunneling rate in Reissner-Nordstrom geometry determined
- Proposes a new inflationary scenario driven by black hole tunneling
- Connects black hole physics with early universe cosmology

## Abstract

Quantum tunneling in Reissner-Nordstrom geometry is studied and the tunneling rate is determined. A possible scenario for cosmic inflation, followed by reheating phases and subsequent radiation-domination expansion, is proposed.
