[CL] A universal attractor for inflation at strong coupling

http://arxiv.org/abs/1310.3950


We introduce a novel non-minimal coupling between gravity and the inflaton sector. Remarkably, for large values of this coupling all models asymptote to a universal attractor. This behavior is independent of the original scalar potential and generalizes the attractor in the phi^4 theory with non-minimal coupling to gravity. The attractor is located in the `sweet spot’ of Planck’s recent results.
