چکیده
The slow roll approximation is studied for cosmological models in Hyperextended Scalar-Tensor Theories of Gravity. A procedure to obtain slow roll solutions in non-minimally coupled gravity is outlined and some examples are provided. An integral condition over the functional form of the non-minimal coupling is imposed in order to obtain intermediate inflationary behavior. e-mail: [email protected] 1

متن کاملExtended Slow-Roll Conditions and Primordial Fluctuations: Multiple Scalar Fields and Generalized Gravity
As an extension of our previous study, we derive slow-roll conditions for multiple scalar fields which are non-minimally coupled with gravity and for generalized gravity theories of the form f(φ,R). We provide simple formulae of the spectral indices of scalar/tensor perturbations in terms of the slow-roll parameters.

متن کاملThe Slow-Roll and Rapid-Roll Conditions in The Space-like Vector Field Scenario
In this note we derive the slow-roll and rapid-roll conditions for the minimally and nonminimally coupled space-like vector fields. The function f(B) represents the non-minimal coupling effect between vector fields and gravity, the f = 0 case is the minimal coupling case. For a clear comparison with scalar field, we define a new function F = ±B2/12+f(B2) where B = AμA , Aμ is the “comoving” vec...
متن کاملP-nflation: generating cosmic Inflation with p-forms
We show that an inflationary background might be realized by using any pform non-minimally coupled to gravity. Standard scalar field inflation corresponds to the 0-form case and vector inflation to the 1-form. Moreover, we show that the 2and 3-form fields are dual to a new vector and scalar inflationary theories where the kinetic terms are non-minimally coupled to gravity.
متن کاملExtended Slow-Roll Conditions and Rapid-Roll Conditions
We derive slow-roll conditions for a scalar field which is non-minimally coupled with gravity in a consistent manner and express spectral indices of scalar/tensor perturbations in terms of the slow-roll parameters. The conformal invariance of the curvature perturbation is proved without linear approximations. Rapid-roll conditions are also derived, and the relation with the slow-roll conditions...
