Considering the mechanism of dissipative slow-roll that has been used in warm inflation scenario, we show that dissipation may alter usual cosmological scenarios associated with SUSY-flat directions. We mainly consider SUSY-flat directions that have strong interactions with nonflat directions and may cause strong dissipation both in thermal and nonthermal backgrounds. An example is the Affleck–Dine mechanism in which dissipation may create significant (both qualitative and quantitative) discrepancies between the conventional scenario and the dissipative one. We also discuss several mechanisms of generating curvature perturbations in which the dissipative field, which is distinguished from the inflaton field, can be used as the source of cosmological perturbations. Considering the Morikawa–Sasaki dissipative coefficient, the damping caused by the dissipation may be significant for many MSSM flat directions even if the dissipation is far from thermal equilibrium.

Considering a constant dissipative coefficient [Formula: see text], the pre-inflation dynamical behaviors of warm inflation in the loop quantum cosmology scenario are discussed. We consider three sets of initial conditions. The evolution of the background can always be divided into three phases, namely super-inflation, damping, and slow-roll inflation phases, with the duration of each phase depending on the initial conditions. As an example, we compare the background evolution between [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] under special initial conditions and find that there is no slow-roll inflation phase for [Formula: see text] while the number of e-folds is about 60.209 for [Formula: see text].

This paper investigates the dynamics of warm logamediate inflation for flat isotropic and homogeneous universe in Einstein frame representation of [Formula: see text] gravity. In this scenario, we study dissipative effects for weak and strong interactions of inflaton field via constant and generalized dissipative coefficient. In both interacting regimes, we find inflaton solution corresponding to scalar potential and radiation density of dissipating inflaton. Under slow-roll approximation, we formulate scalar and tensor power spectra, their spectral indices and tensor–scalar ratio for Starobinsky inflationary model and construct graphical analysis of these observational parameters. It is concluded that this model remains compatible with Planck 2015 constraints in weak and strong regimes for constant dissipative coefficient. For generalized dissipative coefficient, the inflationary model yields consistent results for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in strong regime while condition of warm inflation is violated for [Formula: see text] in weak regime.

Experiments on the interaction between solitary shallow-water waves propagating in the same direction have been performed in a rectangular channel. Two methods were devised to compensate for the dissipation of the waves in order to compare results with Hirota's (1971) solution for the collision of solitons described by the Kortewegde Vries equation. Both qualitative and quantitative agreement with theory is obtained using the proposed corrections for wave damping.

Abstract We study chaotic inflation with a Galileon-like self-interaction $$G(\phi ,X)\Box \phi $$G(ϕ,X)□ϕ, where $$G(\phi ,X)\propto X^{n}$$G(ϕ,X)∝Xn. General conditions required for successful inflation are deduced and discussed from the background and cosmological perturbations under slow-roll approximation. Interestingly, it is found that in the regime where the Galileon term dominates over the standard kinetic term, the tensor-to-scalar ratio becomes significantly suppressed in comparison to the standard expression in General Relativity (GR). Particularly, we find the allowed range in the space of parameters characterizing the chaotic quadratic and quartic inflation models by considering the current observational data of Planck from the $$n_{\mathcal {S}}-r$$nS-r plane. Finally, we discuss about the issue if the Galileon term is dominant by the end of inflation, this can affect the field oscillation during reheating.

During the inflationary regime, the expansion of the Universe is driven by a scalar field ϕ(t) which may be in thermal contact with the radiation fluid. In this work, we study the influence of the thermal bath assuming that it is responsible for the stochastic evolution of the inflaton field. Assuming that the fluctuation dynamics is described by a Langevin-type equation of motion, a large set of analytical solutions including white and colored noises are derived. It is found that even in the case of white noise the field experience an anomalous diffusion. Such results may be important for studying thermally induced initial density perturbations in inflationary cosmologies, mainly in the framework of warm inflation.

We consider a generalized Starobinski inflationary model. We present a method for computing solutions as generalized asymptotic expansions, both in the kinetic dominance stage (psi series solutions) and in the slow roll stage (asymptotic expansions of the separatrix solutions). These asymptotic expansions are derived in the framework of the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism where the Hubble parameter is written as a function of the inflaton field. They are applied to determine the values of the inflaton field when the inflation period starts and ends as well as to estimate the corresponding amount of inflation. As a consequence, they can be used to select the appropriate initial conditions for determining a solution with a previously fixed amount of inflation.

By assuming the specific Chaplygin gas model, we study the reconstruction of warm inflation model with the help of tensor-to-scalar ratio [Formula: see text] and scalar spectral index [Formula: see text]. In this regard, we take flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) metric and discuss the general forms of dissipative coefficient [Formula: see text] as well as effective potential [Formula: see text] for two dissipative regimes i.e., the weak and strong. We use inflationary parameters such as slow-roll parameters, power spectrum of the curvature perturbation, tensor spectrum, spectral index, scalar-to-tensor ratio and Hubble parameter to find the generalized form of dissipative coefficient and effective potential. We discuss the results of dissipative coefficient and reconstructed potential in detail for the specific choice of tensor-to-scalar ratio [Formula: see text] and scalar spectral index [Formula: see text].
