Closed inflationary universe in Patch Cosmology

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2010-04-30 v1

Abstract

In this article we study closed inflationary universe models using the Gauss-Bonnet Brane. We determine and characterize the existence of a universe with Ω>1\Omega > 1, with an appropriate period of inflation. We have found that this model is less restrictive in comparison with the standard approach where a scalar field is considered. We use recent astronomical observations to constrain the parameters appearing in the model.
