โฆ Synopsis
We present a new type of inflationary scenario based on metric formulations of gravity diA'erent from that of Einstein, e.g. , a Brans-Dicke theory of gravity. Unlike previous inflation models, the inflationary phase transition can be completed via bubble nucleation. Hence, the fine tuning of an effective potential to obtain a slow-rollover transition is not required.

In the paradigm of inflation, at some time the early universe behaves roughly as the de Sitter solution of the relativistically covariant (i.e. hyperbolic) vacuum Einstein field equations with a large positive cosmological constant. Here, we consider what happens if a metric g(t) on a compact 3-mani
