Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Xinpeng Wang, Ying-li Zhang, Misao Sasaki, , | Summary: We investigate a model of $R^2$-gravity with a non-minimally coupled scalar field that gives rise to two-stage inflation with a break, that is, with an intermediate stage where inflation momentarily halts. We find that the power spectrum of […]
