Abstract

We discuss the cosmological inflation in the context of f(Q)f(Q) non-metric gravity, where QQ is the non-metric scalar. After introducing conformal transformations for f(Q)f(Q) gravity, we first focus on the potential-slow-roll inflation by studying the corresponding potentials for different forms of the function f(Q)f(Q) in the Einstein frame. Secondly, we investigate the Hubble-slow-roll inflation for three classes of inflationary potentials considered for the specific form f(Q)Q2f(Q)\propto Q^{2}, in the Jordan frame. We compare results in both approaches with observations coming from Planck and BICEP2/Keck array satellites. Observational constraints on the parameters space of the models are obtained as well.
