Swampland criteria of inflationary scalar field models with well-known potentials

Abstract

We explore the swampland conjectures of quintessence and tachyon scalar field models in [Formula: see text] and Einstein gravities, respectively. In [Formula: see text] gravity, we consider cold and warm (by assuming generalized dissipative coefficient) inflationary scenarios and develop constraints on de-Sitter conjectures through Bekenstein entropy relation. In usual inflation, the de-Sitter conjecture constraint becomes constant (in terms of models constant parameters) which can be easily analyzed for its validity (i.e., [Formula: see text]). However, in warm inflation, we analyze the de-Sitter conjecture constraint through [Formula: see text], i.e., if [Formula: see text] then [Formula: see text] and hence we can obtain the required result. For evaluating this condition, we choose three well-known potentials such as monomial chaotic, hilltop and generalized exponential. It is observed that the condition [Formula: see text] satisfied for all three potentials in both regimes of dissipative coefficient for specific choice of constants. We also obtain satisfactory results of de-Sitter conjecture for tachyon and polytropic (with quintessence scalar field) in general relativity. We investigate the consistency of assumed potentials through inflationary parameters [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] comparing with Planck’s observational data 2018 and found them compatible with the recent observations.
