In this paper we study the Chaplygin gas model as a candidate for inflation in the framework of the Randall Sundrum type-II braneworld model. We consider the original and generalized Chaplygin gas model in the presence of monomial…
In conventional scenario of thermal inflation, the requirement that the reheating temperature must be larger than the temperature of the nucleosynthesis puts a lower bound on the mass of the inflaton field. At the same time, the mass of the…
