New Issues in the Inflationary Scenario
arXiv:gr-qc/0411058
Abstract
We briefly review the arising of an inflationary phase in the Universe evolution in order to discuss an inhomogeneous cosmological solution in presence of a real self interacting scalar field minimally coupled to gravity in the region of a slow rolling potential plateau. During the inhomogeneous de Sitter phase the scalar field dominant term is a function of the spatial coordinates only. We apply this generic solution to the Coleman-Weinberg potential and to the Lemaitre-Tolman metric. This framework specialized nearby the FLRW model allows a classical origin for the inhomogeneous perturbations spectrum.
