Generalized non-minimal derivative coupling: application to inflation and primordial black hole production

Abstract: We introduce inflationary models where the inflaton features a field dependent non-minimal derivative coupling to the Einstein tensor, that we name GNMDC. This Horndeski term gives new and distinguishable inflationary predictions in a framework that ameliorates possible problems related with gradient instabilities during the reheating stage. We examine the inflationary phenomenology using power law monomial and exponential potentials. We further elaborate on the implications of the inflaton-modulated GNMDC … Show more

“…It is worth noting that an analogous investigation has been done by Fu et al [51] and Dalianis et al [53]. In [51] for the chosen parameter the influence of the temporary nonminimal derivative coupling framework far from the peak position (φ = φ c ) is faded away and the standard slow-roll inflation is recovered.…”

“…One of the proper ways to achieve a rise in the scalar power spectrum is a brief period of ultra slow-roll (USR) inflation due to declining the speed of inflaton field via gravitationally enhanced friction. The framework of nonminimal derivative coupling to gravity (NMDC) beside the fine-tuning of the parameters of the model can give rise to increase friction gravitationally [50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59].…”

“…In the single field inflationary set up, this can be achieved if there is a near-inflection point about a local plateau for the inflationary potential [32,33]. Another suggestion is an enhanced friction [34] for the inflaton field [35,36]. Hence, let us discuss P R (k) peaks generated the α-attactors and Horndeski general non-minimal derivative coupling (GNMDC) inflation introduced in Refs.…”

“…Hence, let us discuss P R (k) peaks generated the α-attactors and Horndeski general non-minimal derivative coupling (GNMDC) inflation introduced in Refs. [37] and [36] respectively. From the structural side the two inflationary models [36,37] have a non-canonical kinetic term,…”
