Description
Physical processes (including field interactions and cosmological evolution) might have different interpretations in different conformal frames. In this talk, we shall discuss how to consistently transform dissipative phenomena between distinct conformal-frame representations of scalar-tensor gravity, and explore the observable consequences thereof in warm inflation scenarios, where the inflaton field is allowed to interact with a near-equilibrium thermal bath.
