| Popis: | We study the power spectra and entropy of two-field warm inflationary scenario with canonical condition which is described by many-dimensional stochastic differential equations. The field perturbations are analytically calculated via a Volterra integral equation of the second kind, based on which we obtain a spectra with leading order and first order of slow-roll parameters. We also find the evolutions of background are not independent but relying on dissipative coefficients, which is distinguished from that in cold inflation. Then, we calculate the entropy on the basis of statistical physics theory by introducing an entropy matrix. On super-horizon scale, the entropy matrix follows the fluctuation-dissipation relation consistent with the scale-invariance of spectra or the stationarity of field perturbations. The entropy perturbation vanishes at both super-horizon and sub-horizon scale, while narrow peaks generate at a specific scale which could be considered as horizon. In addition, the second law of thermodynamics is followed as well. 12 pages, 5 figures. Accepted for publication in Physical Review D |
