Abstract

The dynamics of a single scalar field which describes a second order phase transition is considered taking into account the thermal effects in the high temperature limit. I conclude that thermal effects play a very important role during inflation and do not must to be ignored in models for the early universe. At the end of inflation thermal fluctuations are more important than quantum fluctuations, due to the fact that T>HcT > H_c.
