Inflation driven by causal heat flux
Roy Maartens, Megan Govender, Sunil Maharaj
Abstract
We find a simple inflationary solution in an inhomogeneous spacetime with heat flux. The heat flux obeys a causal transport equation, and counteracts the inflationary decrease of energy density. At late times, the heat flux tends to zero and the fluid approaches the equation of state p=-ρ.
