Abstract

Modeling the potential by an inverse square law in terms of the tachyon field (V(T)=βT2V(T)=\beta T^{-2}) we find exact solution for spatially flat isotropic universe.We show that for β>23/3\beta>2\sqrt{3}/3 the model undergoes power-law inflation. A way to construct other exact solutions is specified and exemplified.
