Evolution of the curvature perturbations during warm inflation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper considers warm inflation as an interesting application of multifield inflation. Delta-N formalism is used for the calculation of the evolution of the curvature perturbations during warm inflation. Although the perturbations considered in this paper are decaying after the horizon exit, the corrections to the curvature perturbations sourced by these perturbations can remain and dominate the curvature perturbations at large scales. In addition to the typical evolution of the curvature perturbations, inhomogeneous diffusion rate is considered for warm inflation, which may lead to significant non-Gaussianity of the spectrum.

Reheating in tachyonic inflationary models: Effects on the large scale curvature perturbations
Abstract. We investigate the problem of reheating and its effects on the evolution of the curvature perturbations in tachyonic inflationary models. We derive the equations governing the evolution of the scalar perturbations for a system consisting of a tachyon and a perfect fluid. Assuming the perfect fluid to be radiation, we solve the coupled equations for the system numerically and study the...
متن کاملLarge-scale Curvature Perturbations with Spatial and Time Variations of the Inflaton Decay Rate
We present a gauge-invariant formalism to study the evolution of the curvature and entropy perturbations in the case in which spatial and time variations of the inflaton decay rate into ordinary matter are present. During the reheating stage after inflation curvature perturbations can vary with time on super-horizon scales sourced by a a gauge-invariant inflaton decay rate perturbation. We show...
متن کاملOn the evolution of tachyonic perturbations at super-Hubble scales
In the slow-roll inflationary scenario, the amplitude of the curvature perturbations approaches a constant value soon after the modes leave the Hubble radius. However, relatively recently, it was shown that the amplitude of the curvature perturbations induced by the canonical scalar field can grow at super-Hubble scales if there is either a transition to fast roll inflation or if inflation is i...

The δN formalism is considered for the calculation of the evolution of the curvature perturbations in generalized multi-field inflation models. The result is consistent with the usual calculation of the standard kinetic term. For the calculation of the generalized kinetic term, we improved the definition of the adiabatic field. Our calculation improves the usual calculation of Ṙ based on the fi...
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 ...
