Polytropic inspired inflation
arXiv:1310.7250
Abstract
We study the chaotic inflation in the context of a gravity theory where the Friedman equation is modified, inspired by the polytropic gas equation of state. It is seen that in the $n=1$ case for the polytropic index the inflaton field at the end of inflation $Ï_e$, depends on the Planck mass, while for $n\neq1$ it generally depends on the polytropic constant and mass of the inflaton field.
