Inflation with a class of concave inflaton potentials in Randall-Sundrum model

Abstract

We investigate inflation with a class of concave inflaton potentials of the form $\sim {\varphi }^n$ $(0<n<1)$ in the Randall-Sundrum model with an infinite extra spatial dimension. We show that this class of models is much more in good agreement with observations compared to the standard inflation. We also find the range of the five-dimensional Planck scale ($M_5$) and show that large tensor-to-scalar ratios do not eliminate small-field inflation in braneworld cosmology.
