我们正在采取f(R)重力作用,并与巨大的充气子场进行最小耦合。 选择一个f(R,ϕ)模型,该模型导致标量张量理论可以通过保形变换转化为爱因斯坦框架。 为了避免框架依赖的模糊性,我们评估约旦框架中通货膨胀时代的确切分析解决方案,并找到了退出通货膨胀的条件。 此外,我们计算扰动的参数(即电子折叠的数量,慢速滚动参数,标量和张量功率谱,相应的光谱指数以及张量与标量比)。 结果表明,该模型的张量功率谱导致蓝色倾斜。 绘制了扰动参数的轨迹,以将结果与最近的观测结果进行比较。

We are taking action of ()gravity with a nonminimal coupling to a massive inaton eld. A (,)model is chosen which leads
to the scalar-tensor theory which can be transformed to Einstein frame by conformal transformation. To avoid the vagueness of the
frame dependence, we evaluate the exact analytical solutions for inationary era in Jordan frame and nd a condition for graceful
exit from ination. Furthermore, we calculate the perturbed parameters (i.e., number of e-folds, slow-roll parameters, scalar and
tensor power spectra, corresponding spectral indices, and tensor to scalar ratio). It is showed that the tensor power spectra lead to
blue tilt for this model. e trajectories of the perturbed parameters are plotted to compare the results with recent observations.
1. Introduction
e late-time cosmic acceleration was discovered in 1998
[1, 2], based on the observations of type Ia supernovae (SN
Ia) that opened up a new door of research in the eld of
cosmology. e main ingredient of this acceleration, named
as dark energy (DE) [3], has been still a paradigm in spite
of tremendous eorts to understand its origin over the last
decade [4, 5]. Dark energy is dierent from ordinary matter in
the respect that it has huge negative pressure whose equation
of state (EoS) is close to −1. Independent observational data
like SN Ia [6, 7], cosmic microwave background radiation
(CMBR) [8, 9], and baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) [10–
12] proved that about 70% of the energy density content of the
recent universe comprises DE.
Currently, there are various approaches to construct the
models for the explanation of the behavior of DE. One way
is to modify the dynamical eld equations by taking negative
pressure in the form of energy momentum tensor

classofmodelsincludesination[13],quintessence[14,15],
k-essence [16, 17], and perfect uid models. e perfect uid
models are solved with the combination of EoS like Chaplygin
gas model and the generalization of this model [18, 19]. On
the basis of particle physics, there have been several eorts to
nd the scalar eld models for the explanation of DE [20–22].
e alternative way for the construction of DE model is to
modify the “Einstein-Hilbert action” to attain the modied
gravity theories like ()gravity, ()(where is torsion
scalar) gravity, (,)and Gauss-Bonnet gravity [23–31].
e compelling research phenomena of “cosmological
ination” are introduced by Guth (1981) [32]. In hot big-
bang (HBB) theory, ination is a notion implemented on a
very initial cosmic stage of expansion. e scale of ination
is assumed to be long enough since over and the standard
evolution is rebuilt to hold the prominent triumphs, such as
CMBR and nucleosynthesis. In spite of all of its successes,
there are some puzzles with HBB theory, which generate
ination [33].
e “atness issue” [34]=1on the time scale, where

being critical density. e curvature term,
()

(,is the scale factor and the Hubble parameter)
in standard big-bang model, decreases with respect to time
lead to ()varying from unity. However, recent observations
suggested that the value of ()is closed to unity, thus
it must be same in the early-time such that its value is
|(

)at Planck time while during nucleosyn-
thesis |(

). e dierence in numeric
values suggests that initial conditions should be ne-tuned.
An inappropriate choice generates a cosmos, which either
soon expands before the formation of structure or quickly
collapses.

2 Advances in High Energy Physics
e “horizon problem [34]” illustrates “why the temper-
ature of CMBR is the same all over the sky?” e exactly
same temperature of CMBR in east and west directions is
detected through antenna whereas the radiation coming from
opposite directions is separated by 28.Itiswellknown
that travel speed of information is always less than the speed
of light, hence neither the radiation nor the regions ever have
been in thermal contact. Any two cosmic regions could be
in thermal equilibrium if and only if they are closed enough
to communicate with each other. So, question arises that
without any causal connection, how was thermal equilibrium
between two regions developed?
Inationary mechanism is basically introduced to solve
the classical shortcomings attached with HBB model. More
precisely, during inationary phase the factor () grows
exponentially (
<0)and evolution equation immediately
yields +3<0;sinceis a positive quantity, therefore to
hold the mentioned inequality, must be negative (..,<
−/3). Symmetry breaking is a technique which helps in
achieving this negative pressure. e cosmic model with
cosmological constant (Λ)satisfying EoS =−is the
usual example of cosmic inationary model. e quantity
𝜆
decayed into ordinary matter with passage of time, leading
to graceful exit from ination and sustained the HBB model.
Unluckily, Λis known to be very ad hoc mechanism. An
outstanding inationary model should follow a reasonable
hypothesis for the origin of Λand a graceful exit from the
phase of ination [35].
e phase transition is a successful mechanism to achieve
ination, especially a dramatic stage in time-line of the
universe where universe really alters its properties. In fact, the
present cosmos have undergone a chain of phase transitions
as its temperature cooled down. Scalar eld, an unusual form
of matter with negative pressure, is assumed to be responsible
for these transitions in cosmic phases. e inaton decayed
at the end of evolutionary phase and ination terminates,

or more.
Moreover, modied gravity theories (MGT) [36–39] provide
a new way to get ination. In these MGT, higher-derivative
curvature corrections in Einstein’s theory lead to early-time
acceleration (see [40, 41] for review and [33, 42–49] for
applications).
Liddle and Samuel [50] discussed the eects of nonstan-
dard expansion between two cosmic phases, end of ination,
and the current cosmic stage, resulting that the expected
number of e-folding ()can be reformed and signi-
cantly increased in some cases. Walliser [51] solved general
scalar-tensor theories of gravity and found the dierential
equations which successfully inate the universe. Garcia-
Bellido and Quiros [52] solved the problem of ination,
based on a general scalar-tensor theory of gravity. ey
determined a particular class of models with a Brans-Dicke
like behavior during ination. e result converted contin-
uously to general relativity during the radiation and matter-
dominated eras. ey solved numerical equations of motion
and found a subclass of models. Lahiri and Bhattacharya
[53] formulated a general mechanism to analyze the linear
perturbations during ination based on the gauge-ready
approach. ey solved the rst order slow-roll equations
for scalar and tensor perturbations and obtained the super-
horizon solutions for dierent perturbations aer ina-
tion.
Myrzakulov et al. [54] described the ination with the
reference to (,)-theories and generated a class of models
which support early-time acceleration. Sharif and Saleem
[55] studied the warm ination in the framework of locally
rotationally symmetric Bianchi type I universe model. ey
presented the graphical analysis of the perturbed parameters
to check the comparability of the considered model with
recent data. In Jordan frame, Mathew et al. [56] constructed
exact solution with nonminimal coupled action of ()grav-
ity to a massive inaton eld. ey proved that the solutions
were the same as in scalar-tensor theory. ey also explained
the dynamics of tensor power spectrum associated to this
model.
Inspiring by the technique used in [56], we build a
cosmic inationary model with a massive inaton eld that
has fundamental place in the standard model of particle
physics. e Einstein-Hilbert (EH) action is considered as a
constrained case of a generalized action with higher order
curvature invariants; ()gravity is the example of such
an action [36, 57, 58]. General theory of relativity (GR)
cannot be renormalizable, so it is not possible to quantize
it conventionally. However, the modied EH action con-
taining higher order curvature terms can be renormaliz-
able [59, 60], due to which () gravity is taken to be
an interesting alternative to GR. e associated ()eld
equations are nontrivial due to its fourth order. In addition,
these theories do not experience Ostr
¨
ogradsky instability
[61].
A conformal transformation can be applied to (,)
action to convert it to EH action with an additional (canoni-
cal) inaton eld [62]. e scalar-tensor gravity theories suer
from a long-lasting controversy about the choice of physical
frameeitherEinsteinorJordan[63].Althoughthetwo:
Jordan frame (original) as well as the Einstein frame are under
conformal transformation, it is unclear how the observable
quantities are related to the physical quantities computed in
the two frames [35, 64]. To get rid of these controversies and
the vagueness in the selection of frame, here we take the
action without implementing any transformation to frame,
any other theory, or variables [63]. Since the EH action
does not possess any nonminimal coupling term, so there
is no motivation of performing conformal transformation.
Generally, we cannot trust in these techniques presented
in literature, and we work with a new analytical method
developed in [56].
e manuscript is arranged as follows. In Section 2, rstly,
we consider a model and obtain the exact analytical solutions
in de-Sitter case and secondly we nd inationary solutions
numerically with an exit for dierent initial conditions. In
Section 3, we discuss the scalar and tensor power spectra
and prove that the solution of Hubble parameter repre-
sents a saddle point. e compatibility of the model with
recent data is checked through graphical analysis of the
perturbed parameters. In the last section, we conclude the
results.

Here

this is an exact solution obtained from the background
equations. We are mentioning here some important points:
rst, we have obtained the solution without using conformal
transformation. According to the best of our knowledge,
in Jordan frame no exact solution exists. Second, in case
of exact analytical de-Sitter solution, the inaton eld (12)
decreases as time increases. ird, coupling function ()
