Abstract

The reconstruction of an inflationary universe in the context of the Galileon model or G-model, considering as attractors the scalar spectral index nS(N)n_S(N) and the tensor to scalar ratio r(N)r(N) as a function of the number of e-folding NN is studied. By assuming a coupling of the form G(ϕ,X)=g(ϕ)XG(\phi,X)=g(\phi)\,X, we obtain the effective potential VV and the coupling parameter gg in terms of the cosmological parameters nSn_S and rr under the slow roll approximation. From some examples for nS(N)n_S(N) and r(N)r(N), different results for the effective potential V(ϕ)V(\phi) and the coupling parameter g(ϕ)g(\phi) are found.
