Anisotropic warm inflation

概要

Anisotropic inflation is a model that succeeded in explaining statistical anisotropy. Warm inflation is a model that succeeded in providing a mechanism of reheating during inflation. We study anisotropic warm inflation focusing on the cosmic no-hair conjecture. In the anisotropic warm inflation, the condition for making anisotropy survive is clarified. By assuming a constant value for the dissipation ratio, we find exact solutions of power-law anisotropic warm inflation, and investigate the phase space structure of general solutions. It turns out that whether the anisotropy during inflation survives or not depends on the competition of the potential that drives anisotropic inflation against dissipation of an inflaton field. Anisotropic warm inflation will be realized if the decaying process is not efficient.
