Description
Steep potentials in cold inflation leads to power-law type inflation where inflation does not exit gracefully as long as one considers standard general relativity. Warm inflation, a variant inflationary paradigm to the standard cold inflation scenario, can accommodate steep potentials very easily. Not only inflation gracefully exits in these Warm Inflationary scenarios, but they also lead to observationally viable models. Warm inflation with steep potentials can also be on par with the recently proposed Swampland Conjectures in String Theory, which makes them viable model of inflation which can be constructed within String Landscapes. In this talk we will discuss such aspects of Warm Inflation with steep potentials.
