Inflationary Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Chaplygin Gas Models

Abstract

In this thesis, we study the reconstruction of warm inflation model with the help of tensor to scalar ratio (r) and scalar spectral index (ns) in terms of number of e-folds (N). In this regards, we take flat FRW metric and discuss the general forms of dissipative coefficient Γ(φ, T ) as well as effec- tive potential V (φ, T ) for two dissipative regimes i.e., the weak and strong. We use inflationary parameters like slow roll parameters, power spectrum of the curvature perturbation, tensor spectrum, spectral index, scalar to tensor ratio and Hubble parameter to find the generalized form of dissi- pative coefficient and effective potential. Further, we discuss generalized cosmic Chaplygin gas in the scenario of particle creation. We examine energy density (ρ), Hubble parameter (H), declaration parameter (q), tem- perature (T ) and particle number density (n) under three different models of particle creation rate. We also analyze the production of entropy and Bekenstein entropy in the scenario of first law of thermodynamics. We dis- cuss the validity of generalized second law of thermodynamics and thermal equilibrium under three models of Γ and discuss the graphical behavior of above mentioned terms.
