23 Mar 1993 | Journal: | Phys.Rev. D47 (1993) 5219-5223 | Subject: | astro-ph | Abstract: | We investigate models of `intermediate’ inflation, where the scale factor $a(t)$ grows as $a(t) = exp (A t^f)$, $0 < f < 1$, $A$ constant. These solutions arise as exact analytic solutions for a given class of potentials for the inflaton $phi$. For a simpler class of potentials falling off as a power of $phi$ they arise as slow-roll solutions, and in particular they include, for $f = 2/3$, the class of potentials which give the Harrison--Zel’dovich spectrum. The perturbation spectral index $n$ can be greater than unity on astrophysical scales. It is also possible to generate substantial gravitational waves while keeping the scalar spectrum close to scale-invariance; this latter possibility performs well when confronted with most observational data. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/9303011 | Other source: | [GID 320050] pmid10015591 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
