Abstract

A warm-intermediate inflationary universe model is studied in the presence of the Galileon coupling G(ϕ,X)=g(ϕ)XG(\phi,X)=g(\phi)X. General conditions required for successful inflation are deduced and discussed from the background and cosmological perturbations under slow-roll approximation. In our analyze we assume that the dynamics of our model evolves accordingly two separate regimes, namely 3gϕ˙H1+R3g\dot{\phi}H\gg 1+R, i.e., when the Galileon term dominates over the standard kinetic term and the dissipative ratio, and secondly in the regime where both 3gϕ˙H3g\dot{\phi}H and RR become of the same order than unity. For these regimes and assuming that the coupling parameter g=g0=g=g_0= constant, we consider two different dissipative coefficients Γ\Gamma; one constant and the other being a function of the inflaton field. Furthermore, we find the allowed range in the space of parameters for our G-warm model by considering the latest data of Planck and also the BICEP2/Keck-Array data from the r=r(ns)r=r(n_s) plane, in combination with the conditions in which the Galileon term dominates and the thermal fluctuations of the inflaton field predominate over the quantum ones.
