Warm inflation with coupled thermal quantum fluctuations: a new semiclassical approach

preprint2000arXivOpen access

Abstract

I consider a new semiclassical expansion for the inflaton field in the framework of warm inflation scenario. The fluctuations of the matter field are considered as thermally coupled with the particles of the thermal bath. This coupling parameter depends on the temperature of the bath. The power spectrum remains invariant under this new semiclassical expansion for the inflaton. However, I find that the thermal component of the amplitude for the primordial field fluctuations should be very small at the end of inflation.
