Description
Summary:This paper reviews the theoretical and phenomenological implications of the swampland conjectures from the perspective of inflationary cosmology, focusing on warm inflation. We demonstrate how the swampland conjectures appear to favor the strong dissipative regime, giving warm inflation a competitive edge over standard inflation. Additionally, we ponder the possible deeper implications of dissipation for constructing successful inflation models from string theory.
