Abstract

The bispectrum of scalar mode density perturbations is analysed for the strong regime of warm inflationary models. This analysis generalises previous results by allowing damping terms in the inflaton equation of motion that are dependent on temperature. A significant amount of non-gaussianity emerges with constant (or local) non-linearity parameter fNL20f_{NL}\sim 20, in addition to the terms with non-constant fNLf_{NL} which are characteristic of warm inflation.
