Initial conditions for small-field inflation

preprint2009arXivOpen access

Abstract

Small-field inflation typically requires rather special initial conditions to commence. It is proposed that in models where the inflaton is an axionlike field, with a periodic contribution to the potential, there is a possibility of significantly enhancing the chances of inflation without any fine-tuning of initial conditions and with no additional fine-tuning of the dynamics beyond what is needed for the potential to support inflation in the first place.
