Topological inflation induced by a non-minimally coupled massive scalar field (1999)

Abstract
We reanalyze cosmology of a non-minimally coupled massive scalar field which was originally discussed by Futamase and Maeda in the context of chaotic inflation scenario. We find a new type of inflationary solution where inflation occurs inside a domain wall. This new solution relaxes constraints on the coupling constant for successful inflation.. Comment: 8 pages, revtex, 3 eps figures; minor corrections; to appear in Phys. Lett. B
