Measuring the strength of dissipative inflation

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2015-06-25 v1 Astrophysics

Abstract

We comment on recently proposed dissipative inflationary models. It is shown that the strength of the inflationary expansion is related to a specific combination of thermodynamic variables which is known to measure the instability of self-gravitating dissipative systems.
