1303.4700 (C. Wetterich)

Cosmon inflation    [PDF]

C. Wetterich
The cosmon field responsible for dynamical dark energy can induce an inflationary period in early cosmology. Details depend on dilatation symmetry breaking terms in its potential and kinetic term that are relevant only during early stages of the evolution of the universe. We discuss a model with almost static geometry in the Jordan frame, where the cosmic evolution of the Hubble parameter is replaced by a variation of the Planck mass and particle masses. This model predicts a spectral index n=0.97 and a ratio for tensor to scalar fluctuations r=0.13.
