Dynamics of constant sound speed inspires warm inflation

Abstract

In this work, we consider a modern form of single-field inflationary models (known as power-law plateau inflation and preheating phase for a class of plateau inflationary model) and ASPIC models by considering the Dirac–Born–Infeld (DBI) non-canonical scalar field in the light of warm inflationary scenario. For these models, we assume constant sound speed [Formula: see text] and compute different slow-roll [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] as well as inflationary parameters (number of [Formula: see text]-folds [Formula: see text], spectral index [Formula: see text], scalar spectral index [Formula: see text] and tensor-to-scalar ratio [Formula: see text]) for specific anti-de Sitter warp factor of the DBI inflation. Next, we plot the trajectories of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] with different choices of [Formula: see text] and found the ranges [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] (for minimal inflation model), [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] (for modified minimal inflation model) and [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] (mixed large field inflation), respectively. Moreover, the ranges of these parametric plots for power-law plateau inflationary model are [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. Finally, we find that the results of all these parametric plots are consistent with 68% and 95% with current observational data except scalar-to-tensor ratio [Formula: see text] for modified minimal and power-law Plateau inflation models.
