Abstract

A self-consistent model which can unify Starobinsky inflation and the Λ\LambdaCDM model in the framework of Poincar\'e gauge cosmology (PGC) is studied in this work, without extra inflaton and ``dark energy''. We start from the general nine-parameter PGC Lagrangian and get two Friedmann-like analytical solutions with the certain ghost- and tachyon-free conditions on the Lagrangian parameters. The scalar torsion hh-determined solution is consistent with Starobinsky cosmology in the early-time and the pseudo-scalar torsion ff-determined solution contains naturally a constant ``dark energy'' density, 3(α1)2/8B03(\alpha-1)^2/8B_0, which covers the Λ\LambdaCDM model in the late-time. According to the latest observations, we estimate the magnitudes of parameters: α18.07×1056\alpha-1\simeq 8.07\times10^{-56}, B05.76×1028GeV2B_0\simeq5.76\times10^{-28}GeV^{-2} in the natural units.
