Description
Summary:The present work examines the possibility of warm inflationary paradigm in the modified gravity theory with fractal geometry. By choosing the normal fluid as radiation fluid and the effective fluid (with the extra term in modified field equation) as the inflaton field both strong and weak dissipative regimes have been studied using slow roll approximation with quasi-stable criteria for radiation. Finally, using the Planck data set, the present model has been analyzed for various choices of the fractal function and the dissipation parameter.
