Warm inflation solution to the eta-problem
Warm inflationary dynamics is shown to satisfy both the slow-roll and density perturbation constraints for mφ ≫ H or equivalently η ≫ 1 and for inflaton field amplitudes much below the Planck scale, 〈φ〉 < mpl. I start by reviewing the two types of inflation dynamics, isentropic or cold inflation and nonisentropic or warm inflation. In the former, inflation occurs without radiation production, w...
متن کاملConstruction of a robust warm inflation mechanism
A dissipative mechanism is presented, which emerges in generic interacting quantum field systems and which leads to robust warm inflation. An explicit example is considered, where using typical parameter values, it is shown that considerable radiation can be produced during inflation. The extension of our results to expanding spacetime also is discussed. PACS numbers: 98.80.Cq, 05.70.Ln, 11.10....
متن کاملA First Principles Warm Inflation Model that Solves the Cosmological Horizon/Flatness Problems
A quantum field theory warm inflation model is presented that solves the horizon/flatness problems. The model obtains, from the elementary dynamics of particle physics, cosmological scale factor trajectories that begin in a radiation dominated regime, enter an inflationary regime and then smoothly exit back into a radiation dominated regime, with nonnegligible radiation throughout the evolution...
متن کاملPerturbations of the metric induced by back - reaction in the warm inflation scenario
A second order expansion for the quantum fluctuations of the matter field was considered in the framework of the warm inflation scenario. The friction and Hubble parameters were expanded by means of a semiclassical approach. The fluctuations of the Hubble parameter generates fluctuations of the metric. These metric fluctuations produce an effective term of curvature. The power spectrum for the ...
متن کاملWarm Inflation at Arbitrary Adiabaticity - a Model, an Existence Proof for Inflationary Dynamics in Quantum Field Theory
Warm inflation is examined in a multi-field model. Solutions are obtained for expansion e-folds and scalar density perturbations. Nonequilibrium dynamics is restricted to a regime that is displaced only slightly from thermal equilibrium and in which all macroscopic motion is adiabatic. In such a regime, nonequilibrium dynamics is well defined, provided macroscopic motions that displace the ther...
