Becker, Becker, and Schwarz 2007, p. 533 Indeed, there have been a number of attempts to identify an inflaton within the spectrum of particles described by string theory, and to study inflation using string theory. Source: Internet

It is now believed by some that the inflaton cannot be the Higgs field citation although the recent discovery of the Higgs boson has increased the number of works considering the Higgs field as inflaton. Source: Internet

Effects of asymmetries main Eventually, it was shown that new inflation does not produce a perfectly symmetric universe, but that quantum fluctuations in the inflaton are created. Source: Internet

There is no evidence that the vacuum energy does vary, but it may be the case if, for example, the vacuum energy is (even in part) the potential of a scalar field such as the residual inflaton (also see quintessence ). Source: Internet

These regions in which the inflaton fluctuates upwards expand much faster than regions in which the inflaton has a lower potential energy, and tend to dominate in terms of physical volume. Source: Internet

The slow-roll conditions say that the inflaton potential must be flat (compared to the large vacuum energy ) and that the inflaton particles must have a small mass. Source: Internet
