Reconstructing inflation in scalar-torsion $f(T,\phi)$ gravity
Abstract
It is investigated the reconstruction during the slow-roll inflation in the most general class of scalar-torsion theories whose Lagrangian density is an arbitrary function of the torsion scalar of teleparallel gravity and the inflaton . For the class of theories with Lagrangian density , with and the power as constant, we consider a reconstruction scheme for determining both the non-minimal coupling function and the scalar potential through the parametrization (or attractor) of the scalar spectral index and the tensor-to-scalar ratio as functions of the number of folds . As specific examples, we analyze the attractors and , as well as the case with a dimensionless constant. In this sense and depending on the attractors considered, we obtain different expressions for the function and the potential , as also the constraints on the parameters present in our model and its reconstruction.
