Slow-roll inflation in non-metric gravity

arXiv:2209.06670 · doi:10.1016/j.dark.2022.101113

Abstract

We discuss the cosmological inflation in the context of non-metric gravity, where is the non-metric scalar. After introducing conformal transformations for gravity, we first focus on the potential-slow-roll inflation by studying the corresponding potentials for different forms of the function in the Einstein frame. Secondly, we investigate the Hubble-slow-roll inflation for three classes of inflationary potentials considered for the specific form , in the Jordan frame. We compare results in both approaches with observations coming from Planck and BICEP2/Keck array satellites. Observational constraints on the parameters space of the models are obtained as well.
