5 Energetics Consider GUT scale inflation: M GeV ρ v M GeV 4 H GeV T > H requires (influences structure formation) T > 1GeV requires (makes reheating unnecessary) > 1 part in of ρ v ρ r > 1 part in of ρ v ρ r Inflation pictures 1. Cold inflation: basic assumption is no dissipation 2. Warm inflation: radiation production inherent [AB, (1995)] Theoretical consideration Equipartition Hypothesis of Statistical Mechanics: Scalar field should distribute its energy evenly amongst all degrees of freedom. Dynamical Question: Will relevant time scales during inflation prohibit the minute radiation production given above?

6 Nature of the fluctuations Thermal/quantum fluctuations leave ripples in early universe - imprinted on CMB at Last Scattering - amplified by gravity to make structure Cold inflation: Quantum (Guth, Pi 82; Hawking 82; t 0 γ γ 1 2 Last Scattering Surface Warm Inflation: Thermal Starobinsky 82; δφ = k1/2 F T1/2 2π Bardeen et. al. 83) Υ < 3H : k F = H (Moss 85, AB,Fang 95) δφ = H 2π δρ ρ = Hδφ φ HORIZON EXIT Υ > 3H : k F = ΥH (AB 99)

16 Inflaton mass Coupling of inflaton induces χ mass term: m χ = gϕ Thermal corrections to inflaton mass: { m 2 g 2 φ = T 2, g 2 e mχ/t, m χ T m χ > T Inflaton can not be directly coupled to radiation [AB, Gleiser, Ramos (1998); Yoyoyama,Linde (1998)]

30 Fluctuation-dissipation in cosmology [AB (1996), Bastero-Gil et al (2014), Bartrum et al (2014)] Treatment of early universe cosmological problems usually classical evolution with some quantum effects superposed, i.e. inflation, reheating, phase transitions etc... This is an approximation for a multi-particle problem Include effective dynamics from all these degrees of freedom using dissipation terms which by fluctuation-dissipation relations will be accompanied by stochastic forces Learn from warm inflation that dissipation and stochastic effects do affect observable predictions. These effects can explain the Planck data within a well motivated model. An alternative to developing elaborate models which now even involve quantum gravity. Lesson here could apply to other cosmological physics. Dissipation and noise applied to phase transitions, reheating, Axion inflation, thermal fluctuations models, trapped inflation, string cosmology...

31 Warm inflation summary Dissipative effects and temperature during inflation alter tensor-scalar ratio and tilt QFT solutions are perturbative but have large number of fields N χ 10 6 Models exist with large GUTs, branes, extra-dimensions Large number of fields is a tuning but in strong dissipative regime there is no η-problem, thus removing a tuning from cold inflation models Expect fewer fields in pole-dominated dissipative regime Bulk and shear viscosity affect the radiation bath and density perturbations [Bastero-Gil et al. (2014)] Control gravition over-abundance [Sanchez et al. (2011); Bartrum et al (2013)] Baryogenesis [Bastero-Gil,AB,Ramos,Rosa (2012)]

32 Conclusion Excellent consistency with Planck/BICEP2 data is still possible for one of the simplest inflation models by including some thermodynamic considerations All the good properties of the φ 4 inflation model remain in tact: Renormalizable - familiar quantum field theory interactions Initial conditions - eternal inflation still occurs in the warm regime [AB, Rangarajan (2013)] General warm inflation picture of interactions, particle production and dissipation during inflation could have relevance in explaining CMB data. Other dynamical realizations and models of warm inflation should be explored

33 Two stage dissipative mechanism (AB and R. Ramos, PRD 63, (2001); I. G. Moss and C. Xiong, hep-ph/ ; Bastero-Gil, AB, Ramos, [hep-ph]) Basic Lagrangian - inflaton field coupled to heavy field (> T) which in turn coupled to light fields (< T) Examples: φ χ ψ with m χ > 2m ψ > m φ L I = g 2 1 φ φχ χ h 2 [χ ψ σ P R ψ σ + χ ψ σ P L ψ σ ], Υ = 0.11g1 4 h4 T7 2ϕ2 m 2 ψ χ φ χ y with m χ > 2m y > m φ L I = g 2 1 φ φχ χ h 1 M[χ σ 2 + χ(σ ) 2 ], Υ = 0.026g 4 1 h4 1 ϕ2t3 M 4 m 8 χ φ ψ χ ψ d, y with m χ > m ψy + m y > m φ L I = 1 2 g 2 ϕ ψ χ ψ χ h 3 [σ ψ χ P R ψ σ + σ ψ χ P L ψ σ ], Υ = g 2 2 h4 3 T 5 m 4 ψ χ

34 Physical picture of two stage dissipative mechanism (Moss, Graham, PRD78, (2008); AB, Ramos, PLB607, 1 (2005)) Particle production rate of radiation bath particles due to interactions: ṅ = Im 2 t dt e iω(p)(t t ) 2ω(p) Σ 21 (p, t, t ) Σ 21 = Σ σ,21 + Σ ψχ,21 is the sum of the σ and ψ σ self-energies Noting ρ r = d 3 p (2π) 3ω(p)n implies: Υ = ρ r ϕ 2 = 1 ϕ 2 d 3 p (2π) 3 [ ωσ (p)ṅ σ + ω ψσ (p)ṅ ψσ ]

36 Local limit of noise and dissipation [AB, Moss and Ramos, (2007)] f(t) slowly varying on timescale τ if Fourier transform f(ω) satisfies f(ω) = 0 for ω > 2π/τ kernel function K(t) described as localized on a timescale τ with accuracy 1 ǫ if Fourier transform K(ω) satisfies K(ω) K(0) K(0) < ǫ for ω < 2π/τ f(t) slowly varying on a timescale τ and K(t) localized on a timescale τ, K(t t )f(t )dt = K(0)f(t) + O(ǫ) K(t) K(0)δ(t t ) (Note: if K(ω) analytic in ω kernel can be localised and kernel admits a local derivative expansion. In general, derivative expansion might not exist, even when the kernel is localized in above sense.)

48 Stringy warm inflation (AB, Kephart, PRL 83, 1084 (1999); Bastero-Gil, et al., [astro-ph.co]) Recurrent problem in embedding inflation in string models is the eta - problem, i.e. quantum corrections and SUGRA contributions to inflaton potential ruin required flatness Warm inflation solution to the eta - problem: large dissipation Υ H V H 2, i.e. much bigger than scale for SUGRA corrections. Necessary ingredient for warm inflation is large number of fields - naturally available in string theory, i.e. moduli fields, branes, Kaluza-Klein modes come in the hundreds of thousands. Example: trapped warm inflation - scalar inflaton field trapped in decaying oscillation about ESP, coupling to other fields leads to warm inflation.
