Warm Inflation and Scalar Perturbations of the Metric
نویسنده
چکیده
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 metric fluctuations can be calculated on the infrared sector.

Cosmic microwave background probes models of inflation.
Inflation creates both scalar (density) and tensor (gravity wave) metric perturbations. We find that the tensor mode contribution to the CMB anisotropy on large-angular scales can only exceed that of the scalar mode in models where the spectrum of perturbations deviates significantly from scale invariance (e.g., extended and power-law inflation models and extreme versions of chaotic inflation)....
متن کاملInflation from a massive scalar field and scalar perturbations of the metric
In the framework of chaotic inflation we study the case of a massive scalar field using a semiclassical approach. We derive the energy density fluctuations in the infrared sector generated by matter field and gauge-invariant metric fluctuations by means of a different method. We find that the super Hubble density fluctuations increase during inflation for a massive scalar field, in agreement wi...

متن کاملThermodynamical properties of metric fluctuations during inflation
During inflation vacuum fluctuations on scales smaller than the Hubble radius are magnified into classical perturbations of the scalar field on super Hubble scales. The primordial perturbations arise solely from the zero-point fluctuations of the quantized fields. Although the region which ultimately expanded to become the observed universe may have contained excitations above the vacuum, these...
متن کاملInflation and de Sitter Thermodynamics
We consider the quasi-de Sitter geometry of the inflationary universe. We calculate the energy flux of the slowly rolling background scalar field through the quasi-de Sitter apparent horizon and set it equal to the change of the entropy (1/4 of the area) multiplied by the temperature, dE = TdS. Remarkably, this thermodynamic law reproduces the Friedmann equation for the rolling scalar field. Th...
