Assisted Inflation from Geometric Tachyon

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-06-11 v3

Abstract

We study the effect of rolling of N D3-branes in the vicinity of NS5-branes. We find out that this system coupled with the four dimensional gravity gives the slow roll assisted inflation of the scalar field theory. Once again this expectation is exactly similar to that of N-tachyon assisted inflation on unstable D-branes.
