Inflation and Inverse Symmetry Breaking

Abstract

An inflation model with inverse symmetry breaking of two scalar fields is proposed. Constraints on the parameters for a successful inflation are obtained. In general the inequality λ1g<λ2\lambda_1\ll g <\lambda_2 should be satisfied, where λ1,2\lambda_{1,2} and gg are the coupling constants for self interaction and mutual interaction of two scalar fields respectively. An example with SU(5)SU(5) GUTs phase transition and numerical study are presented. This model introduce a new mechanism for the onset of inflation.
