Closed inflationary universe with tachyonic field

Astrophysics 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

In this article we study closed inflationary universe models by using a tachyonic field theory. We determine and characterize the existence of an universe with Ω>1\Omega > 1, and which describes a period of inflation. We find that considered models are less restrictive compared to the standard ones with a scalar field. We use recent astronomical observations to constraint the parameters appearing in the model. Obtained results are compared to those found in the standard scalar field inflationary universes.
