Inflection Point Inflation and Time Dependent Potentials in String Theory
arXiv:0708.2798 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2007/10/054
Abstract
We consider models of inflection point inflation. The main drawback of such models is that they suffer from the overshoot problem. Namely the initial condition should be fine tuned to be near the inflection point for the universe to inflate. We show that stringy realizations of inflection point inflation are common and offer a natural resolution to the overshoot problem.
