In this work, we studied the slow-roll approximation of cosmic inflation within the context of gravity, where is the scalar curvature, and is the trace of the energy–momentum tensor. By choosing a minimal coupling between matter and gravity, we obtained the modified slow-roll parameters, the scalar spectral index (), the tensor spectral index (), and the tensor-to-scalar ratio (). We computed these quantities for a general power-law potential, Natural & Quartic Hilltop inflation, and the Starobinsky model, plotting the trajectories on the plane. We found that one of the parameters of Natural/Hilltop models is non-trivially modified. Besides, if the coupling is in the interval , we concluded that the Starobinsky-like model predictions are in good agreement with the last Planck measurement, but with the advantage of allowing a wide range of admissible values for and .

慢速通货膨胀 引力和改进的类似于Starobinsky的通货膨胀模型
在这项工作中,我们研究了在以下情况下宇宙膨胀的慢滚动近似 重力在哪里 是标量曲率,并且 是能量动量张量的迹线。通过选择物质与重力之间的最小耦合,我们获得了修改后的慢滚动参数,即标量光谱指数(),张量谱指数()以及张量与标量之比()。我们针对一般的幂律势,自然和四方山顶通货膨胀以及Starobinsky模型计算了这些数量,并在飞机。我们发现,Natural / Hilltop模型的参数之一是非平凡的修改。此外,如果耦合在间隔内,我们得出的结论是,类似Starobinsky的模型预测与上一次的普朗克测量值非常吻合,但是其优点是可以为 和 。
