Power Law Plateau Inflation Potential In The RS $II$ Braneworld Evading Swampland Conjecture

Abstract

In the recent time, inflationary cosmology is facing an existential crisis due to the proposed Swampland criterion which aims to evade any (meta-)stable de Sitter construction within the String landscape. It is been realised that a single field slow roll inflation is inconsistent with the Swampland criterion unless the inflationary model in realised in some non standard scenario such as Warm inflation or the Braneworld scenario. In \cite{Dimopoulos}, Dimopoulos and Owen introduced a new class of model of inflation dubbed as the power law plateau inflation in the standard cold inflationary scenario. But to realise this model in the standard scenario consistent with observation, they had to introduce a phase of thermal inflation. In this paper we have analysed this model in the braneworld scenario to show that for some choice of the parameters defining the model class, one can have an observationally consistent power law plateau without any phase of thermal inflation. We have also shown that, for the correct choice of model parameters, one can easily satisfy the Swampland criterion. Besides, for a particular choice of the potential one can also satisfy the recently proposed Trans-Planckian Censorship Conjecture.
