ii
The second Friedmann equation gives the first Hubble slow-roll parameter
ϵ=−H2H˙​=2MPl2​H2ϕˉ​˙​,2​​.
(1)
Because ϕˉ​˙​∝a−3,
ϵHϵ˙​=2Hϕˉ​˙​ϕˉ​¨​​−2H2H˙​=−6+2ϵ.
(2)
Thus
ηSR​=−6+2ϵ​.
(3)
As a→∞, the kinetic energy decays as a−6 and the constant Λ dominates. Hence H approaches a constant,
aH≃−η1​,ϵ≃0,ηSR​≃−6​.
(4)
This non-attractor background is ultra-slow-roll inflation.
