Abstract

For the inflaton field we determine a new exact solution by using the Lie symmetry analysis. Specifically, we construct a second-order differential master equation for arbitrary scalar field potential by assuming that the spectral index for the density perturbations nsn_{s} and the scalar to tensor ratio rr are related as ns1=h(r)n_{s}-1=h\left( r\right) . Function h(r)h\left( r\right) is classified according to the admitted Lie symmetries for the master equation. The possible admitted Lie symmetries form the A2A_{2}, A3,2A_{3,2}, A3,3A_{3,3} and sl(3,R)sl\left( 3,R\right) Lie algebras. The new inflationary solution is recovered by the Lie symmetries of the A3,3A_{3,3} algebra. Scalar field potential is derived explicitly, while we compare the resulting spectral indices with the observations.
