Oscillatory phase of nonclassical thermal inflaton in frw universe

Abstract

A minimally coupled nonclassical homogeneous scalar field is examined in the flat FRW universe in the semiclassical theory of gravity. Particle production in thermal coherent and squeezed states is studied for the flat FRW universe, in the oscillatory phase of the inflaton. Solutions for the semiclassical Friedmann equations are obtained in the thermal nonclassical states. Validity of the semiclassical theory is examined in the thermal coherent and squeezed states in the oscillatory phase of inflaton. Particle creation can be enhanced due to thermal and quantum effects. Quantum fluctuations of the inflaton in thermal coherent and squeezed state formalisms are also studied. Classical gravity differ from semiclassical gravity in the thermal coherent state only by an amplitude factor. © 2010 World Scientific Publishing Company.
