Axion-like particles with a coupling to non-Abelian gauge fields at finite temperature can experience dissipation due to sphaleron heating. This could play an important role for warm inflation or dynamical dark energy. We investigate to what degree the efficiency of this non-perturbative mechanism depends on the details of the underlying particle physics model. For a wide range of scenarios and energy scales, we find that a previously discussed suppression of sphaleron heating by light fermions can be alleviated. As an outlook, we point out that fermionic effects may provide a new mechanism for ending warm inflation.

Perturbative Dissipation in Minimal Warm Inflation
In minimal warm inflation, perturbative dissipation from Landau damping and plasmon decay produces a third-time-derivative friction term linear in alpha, but slow-roll suppression makes it at least 10^-6 smaller than ...

Axion-driven spontaneous leptogenesis, precisely
Standard-misalignment axions coupled to strong or weak sphalerons can produce the observed baryon asymmetry at GUT-scale decay constants, whereas the vanilla Majoron scenario is ruled out by late-time dilution.

Viability of warm inflation with standard model interactions
Using the WI2easy code, the Standard Model gluon-coupled warm inflation model remains viable, with a Hubble-exit dissipation ratio Q* between 0.0076 and 30 and inflaton thermalization for Q* above about 0.08.
