Recently, a new class of inflationary models, so-called gauge-flation or non-Abelian gauge field inflation has been introduced where the slow-roll inflation is driven by a non-Abelian gauge field A with the field strength F. This class of models are based on a gauge field theory having F2 and F4 terms with a non-Abelian gauge group minimally coupled to gravity. Here, we present a new class of such inflationary models based on a gauge field theory having only F2 term with non-Abelian gauge fields non-minimally coupled to gravity. The non-minimal coupling is set up by introducing the Einstein tensor besides the metric tensor within the F2 term, which is called kinetic coupled gravity. A perturbation analysis is performed to confront the inflation under consideration with Planck and BICEP2 results

In continuation of the papers hep-th/0505012 and hep-th/0508101 we investigate the consequences when N open-string tachyons roll down simultaneously. We demonstrate that the N-tachyon system coupled to gravity does indeed give rise to the assisted slow-roll inflation.

It is shown that the nonperturbative dynamics of a phase change to the nontrivial phase of λφ4-theory in the early universe can give rise to slow-rollover inflation without recourse to unnaturally small couplings.

Abstract We propose a new construction of the supergravity inflation as an UV completion of the Higgs-R2 inflation. In the dual description of R2-supergravity, we show that there appear dual chiral superfields containing the scalaron or sigma field in the Starobinsky inflation, which unitarizes the supersymmetric Higgs inflation with a large non-minimal coupling up to the Planck scale. We find that a successful slow-roll inflation is achievable in the Higgs-sigma field space, but under the condition that higher curvature terms are introduced to cure the tachyonic mass problems for spectator singlet scalar fields. We also discuss supersymmetry breaking and its transmission to the visible sector as a result of the couplings of the dual chiral superfields and the non-minimal gravity coupling of the Higgs fields.
