New inflationary exact solution from Lie symmetries

Abstract

For the inflaton field we determine a new exact solution by using the Lie symmetry analysis. Specifically, we construct a second-order differential master equation for arbitrary scalar field potential by assuming that the spectral index for the density perturbations $n_s$ and the scalar to tensor ratio $r$ are related as $n_s-1=h\left(r\right)$. Function $h\left(r\right)$ is classified according to the admitted Lie symmetries for the master equation. The possible admitted Lie symmetries form the $A_2$, $A_{3,2}$, $A_{3,3}$ and $sl\left(3,R\right)$ Lie algebras. The new inflationary solution is recovered by the Lie symmetries of the $A_{3,3}$ algebra. Scalar field potential is derived explicitly, while we compare the resulting spectral indices with the observations.
