In this work, we consider intermediate inflation in context of the Generalized Non-Minimal Derivative Coupling (GNMDC) model. In this model, inflation is driven by a canonical scalar field that is coupled not only to gravity but also to the…
A generic non-minimal coupling can push any higher-order terms of the scalar potential sufficiently far out in field space to yield observationally viable plateau inflation. We provide analytic and numerical evidence that this generically…
