Inflationary dynamics in f(𝒢) gravity

Abstract

This paper investigates inflationary dynamics for isotropic and homogeneous universe model in the background of [Formula: see text] gravity. We construct Hubble-flow functions, slow-roll parameters, amplitude of scalar power spectrum, spectral index and tensor–scalar ratio for a particular form of equation of state which describes quasi-de Sitter expansion. The dynamics of inflationary epoch is analyzed for scalar field as well as fluid cosmology with viable power-law [Formula: see text] model. We obtain different potential functions that correspond to chaotic inflation and Starobinsky type models. The graphical behavior of these parameters shows compatible results with observational Planck 2015 data in this gravity.
