摘要
A computation of the inflationary observables n(s) and r is made for logamediate inflation where the cosmological scale factor expands as a=exp(A(lnt)(lambda)), and is compared to their predicted values in the intermediate inflationary theory, where a=exp(Bt(f)). Both versions prove to be consistent with observational measurements of the cosmic background radiation. It is shown that the dynamics of a single inflaton field can be mimicked by a system of several fields in an analogous manner to that created by the joint evolution of the fields in assisted power-law inflation.
