The low energy effective action of quantum gravity may include the higher curvature terms such as the Gauss-Bonnet term. The inflaton dynamics may be affected by the Gauss-Bonnet term if there is an inflaton-Gauss-Bonnet coupling. We show that an inflation model with a simple power law potential is made viable if it is coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet term since the prediction on the scalar spectral index and the tensor-to-scalar ratio are modified. We further point out that such a model predicts huge amount of gravitational waves at the high frequency range around 100GHz--100THz through the perturbative inflaton decay into gravitons induced by the Gauss-Bonnet term. Thus the spectrum of high frequency gravitational background is a unique feature of the inflation models with a Gauss-Bonnet correction.

Slow-roll approximations in Einstein--Gauss--Bonnet gravity formulated in terms of e-folding numbers
For the exponential EGB model, the extended slow-roll approximation with V2=6U0(1-δ1)Q gives the same scalar field as the exact equations, while the standard approximation deviates after N≈5.
