摘要
Inflation is studied in the context of induced gravity (IG) gamma sigma R-2, where R is the Ricci scalar, sigma a scalar field and gamma a dimensionless constant. We study in detail cosmological perturbations in IG and examine both a Landau-Ginzburg (LG) and a Coleman-Weinberg (CW) potential toy models for small field and large field (chaotic) inflation and find that small field inflationary models in IG are constrained to gamma less than or similar to 3 x 10(-3) by WMAP 5-yrs data. Finally we describe the regime of coherent oscillations in induced gravity by an analytic approximation, showing how the homogeneous inflaton can decay in its short-scale fluctuations when it oscillates around a non-zero value sigma(0).
