Dissipative effects in the early universe
Year: 2016
Type: dissertation
Abstract: The work contained in this thesis aims to further develop the understanding\nof the role of inflation and dark matter in the early universe. Our framework is\nthe study of dissipation in such context, a natural outcome of the presence interactions\nin the models describing the system. Therefore, a better comprehension\nof dissipative processes may help in building more realistic representations of the\nphysics of the early universe. For a clearer presentation of the results, the contents\nof the thesis are divided in three distinct parts, with part I and II devoted to the\nstudy of dissipation during inflation, while part III is dedicated to the connection\nof inflation and dark matter through dissipation in the reheating era.
