Inflationary models based on a single scalar field $\phi$ with a quadratic potential $V = \frac{1}{2} m^2 \phi^2$ are disfavoured by the recent Planck constraints on the scalar index, $n_s$, and the tensor-to-scalar ratio for cosmological…

We investigate cosmology with complex scalar field. It is shown that such models can describe two stages of inflation and the oscillatory regime. Thus we don't need both quintessence and $\Lambda$-term. It is enough to have single complex…

We consider inflation with a constant rate of rolling in which a complex scalar field plays the role of inflaton during the inflationary epoch. We implement the inflationary analysis for an accredited angular speed $\dot{\theta}$ which…
