| Summary: | Inflation is a promising theory that solves various problems in standard cosmology,
mainly, horizon problem, flatness problem, and initial condition problem. At first inflationary
theory developed over scalar field with potential which satisfies slow-roll
condition. However, the determination of the shape of the potential gives rise to finetuning
problem. In this research, we have constructed an inflationary model without
scalar field potential from minimal coupling, nonminimal coupling, and nonminimal
derivative coupling based on Horndeski’s theory. And then, we find its field equations
for flat Robertson-Walker metric. After that, we solve the field equations numerically
to get the evolution of scale factor, which depends on the value of the coupling constants
of the nonminimal and nonminimal derivative term. The result is that this model
doesn’t produce exponential expansion of scale factor, although it still produces scale
factor expansion. |
