Constant-roll inflation driven by a scalar field with non-minimal derivative coupling

Published 24 Jul 2019 in gr-qc and hep-th | (1907.10694v1)

Abstract: In this work, we study constant-roll inflation driven by a scalar field with non-minimal derivative coupling to gravity, via the Einstein tensor. This model contains a free parameter, $\eta$, which quantifies the non-minimal derivative coupling and a parameter $\alpha$ which characterize the constant-roll condition. In this scenario, using the Hamilton-Jacobi-like formalism, an ansatz for the Hubble parameter (as a function of the scalar field) and some restrictions on the model parameters, we found new exact solutions for the inflaton potential which include power-law, de Sitter, quadratic hilltop and natural inflation, among others. Additionally, a phase space analysis was performed and it is shown that the exact solutions associated to natural inflation and a "$\cosh$-type" potential, are attractors.
