| 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..
