Warm inflation with back - reaction: a stochastic approach
I study a stochastic approach for warm inflation considering back - reaction
of the metric with the fluctuations of matter field. This formalism takes into
account the local inhomogeneities fo the spacetime in a globally flat Friedmann
- Robertson - Walker metric. The stochastic equations for the fluctuations of
the matter field and the metric are obtained. Finally, the dynamics for the
amplitude of these fluctuations in a power - law expansion for the universe are
examined.Comment: minor changes, 6 pages, no figures, accepted for publication in

Towards a theory of Warm Inflation of the Universe
The warm inflation scenario is an alternative mechanism which can explain the
isotropic and homogeneous Universe which we are living in. In this work I
extend a previously introduced formalism, without the restriction of slow -
roll regime. Quantum to classical transition of the fluctuations is studied by
means of the "transition function" here introduced. I found that the
fluctuations of radiation energy density decrease with time and the thermal
equilibrium at the end of inflation holds.Comment: 14 pages, no figures, to appear in Classical and Quantum Gravit
Gravitational confinement of photons and matter from Induced Matter theory
Using an Extended Scharzschild-Anti de Sitter (ESAdS) metric here introduced,
where the noncompact extra dimension is time-like, we study the gravitational
confinement of matter and photons from a 5D vacuum. The important result here
obtained is that the photon trajectories (in general, massless particles) are
periodic. They are confined to a radius by the gravitational
field. Massive test particles are also gravitationally confined, but their
trajectories are not periodic.Comment: Version to be published in "Results in Physics". arXiv admin note:
