Nonlinear sigma models for inflation scenarios

Abstract

In this paper new implementation from nonlinear sigma models are presented for cosmological inflationary scenarios. It is shown that the scalar field models with any form of a potential of self –interaction can be derived from the appropriate nonlinear sigma model. The complete set of new exact salutation for the two- component sigma model in the spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker and de sitter universes is obtained.
