Consistency relations and degeneracies in (non)commutative patch inflation
arXiv:hep-ph/0406057 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2004.11.075
Abstract
The consistency equations of patch inflation are considered in a next-to-leading-order slow-roll (SR) expansion. Some general aspects of braneworld degeneracy are pointed out, both with an ordinary scalar field and a Born-Infeld tachyon. The discussion is then extended to the maximally symmetric noncommutative case.
