Abstract
Within the strong dissipation regime, our study delves into warm inflation set against the backdrop of Rastall gravity. By employing a scalar field in a FLRW universe, we obtained modified field equations. Subsequently, using slow-roll approximations, we deduced the slow-roll parameters and then determined the power spectra for both scalar and tensor perturbations along with their associated spectral indices. We examined both Chaotic and Natural potentials, estimating the scalar spectral index and tensor-to-scalar ratio for scenarios with constant as well as variable dissipation factor . Our results indicate that potentials previously dismissed may be revived within the framework of Rastall gravity by appropriately selecting the Rastall parameter . Furthermore, it is evident that, within the warm inflationary context, both potentials comply with the Planck 2018 constraints at Planckian and sub Planckian energy scales.
