Abstract
We have studied constant-roll inflation using the q-de Sitter scale factor. Both the cold and warm inflation have been considered, and the scalar potential and inflaton field have been determined. Also tensor to scalar ratio and the spectral index are obtained. In the cold inflation case, the perturbations have been investigated using Mukhanov–Sasaki equation, and the results determined for the spectral index and tensor to scalar ration are consistent with observations. In the warm inflation two cases of constant damping ([Formula: see text]) and the field dependent damping ([Formula: see text]) have been studied. In both cases the power spectrum and the tensor to scalar ratio are determined as a function of the inflaton field. It has been shown that in both cases the spectral index is independent of the inflaton field. In the case of constant damping the obtained value for the spectral index is inconsistent with observations but for the case of field dependent damping the parameter [Formula: see text] can be chosen such that the value obtained for all the physical quantities including the spectral index be consistent with present cosmological observations.
