Exponential-potential scalar-dominated power-law solution

ID: exponential-potential-scalar-dominated-power-law-solution

For , , the displayed ansatz satisfies the flat Friedmann equation and scalar field equation of motion when . Its equation-of-state parameter is and its deceleration parameter is . It gives exponential-potential power-law inflation only for ; the same algebraic family includes decelerating expansion outside that range when its potential normalization is real.
