A model for leptogenesis during the final reheating stage of inflation is presented when the inflaton field performs rapid oscillations. The the Higgs-inflaton interaction provides violation of charge-parity-time symmetry allowing the breaking of the particle-antiparticle symmetry. The new piece of the paper represents the infroduction of new non-minmal couplings of the Higgs field to gravity and a kinetic coupling of the Higgs to the inflaton. The new degree of freedom allow a large range in the parameter space summarized in Figure 9. Detailed numerical calculations form the basis for most conclusions.
