On Inflation and Variation of the Strong Coupling Constant
arXiv:astro-ph/0612536 · doi:10.1142/S0218271807010560
Abstract
Variation of constants in the very early universe can generate inflation. We consider a scenario where the strong coupling constant was changing in time and where the gluon condensate underwent a phase transition ending the inflation.
