Quintessential inflation: A unified scenario of inflation and dark energy [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1801.03272


Quintessential inflation unifies inflation and late time acceleration by a single scalar field. Such a scenario, with canonical and non-canonical scalar fields, has been discussed . The scalar field behaves as an inflaton field during inflation and as a quintessence field during late time. Also the predictions of the models has been compared with the recent Planck data.
