Anisotropy in Inflation with Non-minimal Coupling

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2015-06-19 v2

Abstract

We study a new anisotropic inflation model, with an inflaton field nonminimally coupled with the gravity and a vector field. We find that the anisotropic attractor solution exists not only in the weak curvature coupling limit, but more interestingly in the strong curvature coupling limit as well. We show that in the strong curvature coupling limit, the contribution from the anisotropy is greatly suppressed.
