Non-Abelian Gauge Field Inflation

Azadeh Maleknejad (Alzahra Univ. and IPM)

Abstract:

Up to now inflation stands as the most successful and promising theoretical scenario that has been strongly supported by the observational data. However, the details of the inflationary scheme that reproduces our observations and the exact nature of inflaton is not well-understood yet. Among the large family of possible inflationary models, Non-Abelian Gauge Fields has not been studied on the inflation literature so far. During this talk I will give a brief report of our recent work on the analytical behavior of such a system. Here the inflaton is considered to be a SU(2) gauge field.
