Large tensor-to-scalar ratio and running of the scalar spectral index with instep inflation
If a sizeable tensor-to-scalar ratio ∼0.1 turns out to be detected and a negative running of the scalar spectral index ∼10−2 is significantly required by the data, the vast majority of single field models of inflation will be ruled out. We show that a flat tree-level effective potential, lifted by r...

| Zusammenfassung: | If a sizeable tensor-to-scalar ratio ∼0.1 turns out to be detected and a negative running of the scalar spectral index ∼10−2 is significantly required by the data, the vast majority of single field models of inflation will be ruled out. We show that a flat tree-level effective potential, lifted by radiative corrections and by the imprints of a high energy scale (in the form of nonrenormalizable operators) can explain those features and produce enough inflation in the slow-roll regime. |
