Abstract(s)
We consider a noncommutative (NC) inflationary model with a homogeneous
scalar field minimally coupled to gravity. The particular NC inflationary
setting produces entirely new consequences. We first analyze the free field
case and subsequently examine the situation where the scalar field is subjected
to a polynomial and exponential potentials. We propose to use a canonical
deformation between momenta, in a spatially flat FLRW universe, and while the
Friedmann equation remains unaffected the Friedmann acceleration equation (and
thus the Klein-Gordon equation) is modified by an extra term linear in the NC
parameter. This concrete noncommutativity on the momenta allows interesting
dynamics that other NC models seem not to allow. Let us be more precise. This
extra term behaves as the sole explicit pressure that under the right
circumstances implies a period of accelerated expansion of the universe. We
find that in the absence of the scalar field potential, and in contrast with
the commutative case, in which the scale factor always decelerates, we obtain
an inflationary phase for small negative values of the NC parameter.
Subsequently, the period of accelerated expansion is smoothly replaced by an
appropriate deceleration phase providing an interesting model regarding the
graceful exit problem in inflationary models.
Moreover, in the case of the free scalar field, we show that not only the
horizon problem is solved but also there is some resemblance between the
evolution equation of the scale factor associated to our model and that for the
$R^2$ (Starobinsky) inflationary model. Therefore, our herein NC model not only
can be taken as an appropriate scenario to get a successful kinetic inflation,
but also is a convenient setting to obtain inflationary universe possessing the
graceful exit when scalar field potentials are present.
