Abstract

Assuming a first order phase transition during inflation, a model scenario is described which does not require a tiny coupling constant. Thermal equilibrium is closely maintained as inflation commences. No large scale reheating is necessary. Solutions for N>70N> 70 are found for any δρ/ρ\delta \rho / \rho in the range 10510310^{-5} - 10^{-3}.
