Geometric Tachyon and Warm Inflation    [PDF]

Anindita Bhattacharjee, Atri Deshamukhya
The inflationary models developed in presence of a background radiation can be a solution to the reheating problem faced by common cold (isentropic) inflationary scenario. A D-brane system comprising of k Neuvo-Schwarz(NS) 5-branes with a transverse circle and BPS D3-branes with world volume parallel to the NS 5-branes, placed at a point on the transverse circle diametrically to NS 5 brane has a point of unstable equilibrium and the D3 brane has a geometric tachyonic mode associated with displacement of the brane along the circle. Cold inflationary scenario has been studied in connection with this geometric tachyon \cite{PA1} where it was found that one needs a background of minimum $10^4$ branes to realize a viable inflationary model. In this piece of work, we have tried to study a model of inflation driven by this geometric tachoyn in presence of radiation. We have found that compared to the isentropic scenario, to satisfy the observational bounds, the number of background branes required in this case reduces drastically and a viable model can be obtained with even six to seven NS 5-branes in the background.In this context, we have also analyzed the non-gaussianity associated with the model and observed that the concerned parameter lies well within the observation limit.
