Asymptotically Safe Inflation

arXiv:0911.3165 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.81.083535

Abstract

Inflation is studied in the context of asymptotically safe theories of gravitation. Conditions are explored under which it is possible to have a long period of nearly exponential expansion that eventually comes to an end.

17 pages. An added footnote discusses the problem of ghost poles in these theories, and an added section applies the general results of the paper to actions with no more than four spacetime derivatives. Version accepted for publication in Physical Review D.
