We calculate the evolution of perturbations during this regime. Then by adopting inflation potentials of the model we show that in the large N and small {\\alpha} limit, value of the scalar spectral index ns and tensor to scalar ratio r are universal. Next, we study reheating after inflation in this formalism. We obtain some constraints on the model's parameter space by adopting the results with Planck 2018.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-01-11T15:42:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "non-minimal inflationary model", "scalar spectral index ns", "models parameter space", "scalar ratio", "canonical scalar field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "World Scientific" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
