New models of quintessential inflation featuring plateau and hilltop potentials

Abstract We introduce a new class of hilltop and plateau potentials which can successfully unify inflation and dark energy resulting in quintessential inflation (QI). Interestingly these new potentials are related through an inverse transformation. Namely, if $$V(\phi ) = V_0 \, v(\phi )$$ V ( ϕ ) =...
