Warm Inflation
read the original abstract
Assuming a first order phase transition during inflation, a model scenario is described which does not require a tiny coupling constant. Thermal equilibrium is closely maintained as inflation commences. No large scale reheating is necessary. Solutions for $N> 70$ are found for any $\delta \rho / \rho$ in the range $10^{-5} - 10^{-3}$.

The Noise of Vacuum
A vacuum-decay model generates primordial curvature perturbations from spatially correlated stochastic noise rather than inflaton fluctuations, solving horizon and flatness problems with zero tensor-to-scalar ratio.

Thermal effects on Dark Matter production during cosmic reheating
Thermal corrections to reheating and freeze-in DM production rates are generally small in the computable regime but can be large in constructed counter-examples.
