Abstract

We investigate a single field model in the context of the constant-roll inflation in which inflaton moves down to the minimum point of the potential with a constant rate of rolling. We use a quintessential inflationary model obtained by a Lorentzian function which is dependent on the number of e-folds. We present the inflationary analysis for the model and find the observational constraints on the parameters space using the observations of CMB anisotropies \textit{i.e.} the Planck and Keck/array datasets. We find the observationally acceptable values of the Width of the Lorentzian function as 0.3<Γ0.50.3<\Gamma\leq0.5 at the 68%68\% CL and Γ0.3\Gamma\leq0.3 at the 95%95\% CL when ξ=120\xi=120, β=0.02|\beta|=0.02 and N=60N=60. Also, we acquire the observationally favoured values of the amplitude of the Lorentzian function as 400<ξ600400<\xi\leq600 at the 68%68\% CL and ξ400\xi\leq400 at the 95%95\% CL when Γ=0.1\Gamma=0.1, β=0.02|\beta|=0.02 and N=60N=60. Moreover, we study the model from the Weak Gravity Conjecture approach using the swampland criteria.
