TL;DR

This paper investigates the inflationary complexity of thermal states in single field inflation, analyzing Krylov and circuit complexities under various effects and frameworks, revealing how thermal effects influence chaos and complexity evolution.

Contribution

It introduces a comprehensive analysis of inflationary complexity considering thermal effects, modified dispersion relations, and sound speed, using both closed and open system approaches, which broadens understanding of quantum chaos in inflation.

Findings

Krylov complexity depends on the squeezed angle with thermal effects, decaying over time.

Circuit complexity always increases regardless of thermal effects or squeezed angle.

Higher universe temperature correlates with increased chaos and complexity.

Abstract

In this work, we systematically investigate the inflationary complexity of the two-mode squeezed state with thermal effect for the single field inflation, modified dispersion relation, and non-trivial sound speed with the method of closed system and open system, respectively. Since the various quantum gravitational framework could lead to this kind of modified dispersion relation and non-trivial sound speed, so that our analysis is valid for most inflationary models. $(a)$. The numeric of Krylov complexity in the method of the closed system indicates that the evolution of Krylov complexity highly depends on the squeezed angle parameter once taking the thermal effect into account, which will decay into some very tiny values, but the Krylov complexity will always enhance without thermal effect. $(b)$. The numeric of circuit complexity shows that the evolution is always increasing no matter whether there are thermal effects or not which is independent of the evolution of squeezed angle parameter. $(c)$. By utilizing the method of open system, we first construct the wave function. Our investigations show the evolution of Krylov complexity will enhance upon some peaks factoring in the thermal effects and the Krylov complexity will always increase without thermal effect. $(d)$. We also calculate the Krylov entropy in the method of closed system and open system, which indicates that the hotter the universe is, the more chaotic the universe becomes. Furthermore, our derivation for the Krylov complexity and Krylov entropy could nicely recover into the case of closed system under the weak dissipative approximation, which confirms the validity of construction for the wave function. Finally, our numeric of Lanczos coefficient shows that the non-trivial sound speed has minimal chaos compared to the other two cases.
