Impact of generalized dissipative coefficient on warm inflationary dynamics in the light of latest Planck data

Abstract

The warm inflation scenario in view of the modified Chaplygin gas is studied. We consider the inflationary expansion is driven by a standard scalar field whose decay ratio $\Gamma$ has a generic power law dependence with the scalar field $\varphi$ and the temperature of the thermal bath $T$. By assuming an exponential power law dependence in the cosmic time for the scale factor $a(t)$, corresponding to the intermediate inflation model, we solve the background and perturbative dynamics considering that our model evolves according to (i) weak dissipative regime and (ii) strong dissipative regime. Specifically, we find explicit expressions for the dissipative coefficient, scalar potential, and the relevant inflationary observables as the scalar power spectrum, scalar spectral index, and tensor-to-scalar ratio. The free parameters characterizing our model are constrained by considering the essential condition for warm inflation, the conditions for the model evolves according to weak or strong dissipative regime, and the 2015 Planck results through the $n_s-r$ plane.
