Inflation and Reheating in Induced Gravity |
Inflation is studied in the context of induced gravity. We study in detail cosmological perturbations and examine both a Landau-Ginzburg and a Coleman-Weinberg (CW) potential toy models for small field and large field inflation and find that small field inflationary models are constrained by WMAP 5 yrs data. Finally we describe the regime of coherent oscillations in induced gravity by an analytic approximation. |
