abstract

We investigate the inflationary realization in the context of unimodular $F(T)$ gravity, which is based on the $F(T)$ modification of teleparallel gravity, in which one imposes the unimodular condition through the use of Lagrange multipliers. We develop the general reconstruction procedure of the $F(T)$ form that can give rise to a given scale-factor evolution, and then we apply it in the inflationary regime. We extract the Hubble slow-roll parameters that allow us to calculate various inflation-related observables, such as the scalar spectral index and its running, the tensor-to-scalar ratio, and the tensor spectral index. Then, we examine the particular cases of de Sitter and power-law inflation, of Starobinsky inflation, as well as inflation in a specific model of unimodular $F(T)$ gravity. As we show, in all cases the predictions of our scenarios are in a very good agreement with Planck observational data. Finally, inflation in unimodular $F(T)$ gravity has the additional advantage that it always allows for a graceful exit for specific regions of the model parameters.

  1. Dynamical analysis of bulk viscous cosmological model in $F(T)$ gravity

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Bulk viscous fluids in F(T) gravity with F(T)=(1+γ)T+α(−T)^n admit accelerating power-law and exponential solutions, with stability depending on the viscosity parameters.

  2. The Scale Factor Potential Approach to Inflation

    gr-qc 2019-09 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    The paper reparametrizes slow-roll inflation through a scale factor potential and constructs an example potential, but the chosen 60 e-fold branch is inconsistent with its own first-minimum end condition.
