Description

The de Sitter Swampland Conjectures are used to test some inflationary models compatible with CMBdata. We find that warm inflationary models, with one or more scalar fields, and the Claplygin-inspired models for some class of potentials satisfy the de Sitter Swampland Conjectures. Inflationary models in the context of theories of gravity that couple non-minimally curvature and matter are shown to be inconsistent with the de Sitter Swampland Conjectures.
