A Time Varying Strong Coupling Constant as a Model of Inflationary Universe

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v4 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We consider a scenario where the strong coupling constant was changing in the early universe. We attribute this change to a variation in the colour charge within a Bekenstein-like model. Treating the vacuum gluon condensate <G2><G^2> as a free paramete r, we could generate inflation with the required properties to solve the fluctuation and other standard cosmology problems. A possible approach to end the inflation is suggested.
