Abstract

The aim of this paper is to explore warm inflation in the background of f(G)f(\mathcal{G}) theory of gravity using scalar fields for the FRW universe model. We construct the field equations under slow-roll approximations and evaluate the slow-roll parameters, scalar and tensor power spectra and their corresponding spectral indices using viable power-law model. These parameters are evaluated for a constant as well as variable dissipation factor during intermediate and logamediate inflationary epochs. We also find the number of e-folds and tensor-scalar ratio for each case. The graphical behavior of these parameters proves that the isotropic model in f(G)f(\mathcal{G}) gravity is compatible with observational Planck data.
