A self-consistent inflationary cosmology
Abstract
We present a simple, exact and self-consistent cosmology with a phenomenological model of quantum creation of radiation due to vacuum decay. The decay drives a non-isentropic inflationary era, which exits smoothly to the radiation era, without reheating. The initial vacuum for radiation is a regular Minkowski vacuum. The created radiation obeys standard thermodynamic laws, and the total entropy produced is consistent with the accepted value.Keywords
