Warm Intermediate Inflation in Gravity

Abstract

We investigate warm intermediate scenario of the cosmological inflation in gravity in the limit of high dissipation. The inflationary expansion is driven by the scalar inflaton while the gravitational dynamics follow from the gravity. We calculate the relevant inflationary observables such as scalar-tensor ratio, power-spectrum indices of density perturbations and gravitational waves and the e-folding parameter. We obtain a ratio of slow-roll parameters to be constant. Our calculations support the warm-intermediate inflationary scenario in a spacetime with torsion. Moreover our results are compatible with the astrophysical observations of cosmic microwave background and Planck data.
