The Scalar-Tensor Inflationary Cosmology
In this paper the scalar-tensor theory of gravity is assumed to describe the evolution of the universe and the gravitational scalar φ is ascribed to play the role of inflaton. The theory is characterized by the specified coupling function ω(φ) and the cosmological function λ(φ). The function λ(φ) is nearly constant for 0 < φ < 0.1 and λ(1) = 0. The functions λ(φ) and ω(φ) provide a double-well ...
متن کاملThe Inflationary Trispectrum for Models with Large Non - Gaussianities
We compute the leading order contribution to the four-point function of the primordial curvature perturbation in a class of single field models where the inflationary Lagrangian is a general function of the inflaton and its first derivative. This class of models includes string motivated inflationary models such as DBI inflation. We find that the trispectrum for some range of parameters could p...
متن کاملQuantum Cosmology in Scalar-tensor Theories with Non Minimal Coupling
Quantization in the minisuperspace of non minimal scalar-tensor theories leads to a partial differential equation which is non separable. Through a conformal transformation we can recast the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in an integrable form, which corresponds to the minimal coupling case, whose general solution is known. Performing the inverse conformal transformation in the solution so found, we c...
متن کاملConstraints on Scalar-Tensor Theories of Gravity from Density Perturbations in Inflationary Cosmology
Spectra of density perturbations produced during chaotic inflation in scalartensor theories of gravity are calculated, taking both adiabatic and isocurvature modes into account. Comparing the predicted spectrum of the cosmic microwave background radiation anisotropies with the one observed by the COBE-DMR we calculate constraints on the parameters of these theories, which turn out to be stronge...
