Constraining Slow-Roll Inflation in the Presence of Dynamical Dark Energy
Abstract
In this paper we perform a global analysis of the constraints on the inflationary parameters in the presence of dynamical dark energy models from the current observations, including the three-year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP3) data, Boomerang-2K2, CBI, VSA, ACBAR, SDSS LRG, 2dFGRS and ESSENCE (192 sample). We use the analytic description of the inflationary power spectra in terms of the Horizon-flow parameters . With the first order approximation in the slow-roll expansion, we find that the constraints on the Horizon-flow parameters are and in the CDM model. In the framework of dynamical dark energy models, the constraints become obviously weak, and , and the inflation models with a "blue" tilt, which are excluded about in the CDM model, are allowed now. With the second order approximation, the constraints on the Horizon-flow parameters are significantly relaxed further. If considering the non-zero , the large running of the scalar spectral index is found for the CDM model, as well as the dynamical dark energy models.
