A class of inflaton potentials from RG analysis of scalar-gravity interaction

Inflationary models are characterized by the form of a potential which is arbitrary and usually parametrized so as to match the observational data. However, making use of the renormalization group methods to a gravity-scalar field system it is possible to find physically nontrivial potentials that might be relevant for cosmology and particle physics as well. I will pinpoint the way this class of potentials may be found as well as discuss their utility for inflationary models.
