New slow-roll approximations for inflation in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity

New slow-roll approximations for inflation in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity

We propose new slow-roll approximations for inflationary models with the Gauss-Bonnet term. We find more accurate expressions of the standard slow-roll parameters as functions of the scalar field. To check the accuracy of approximations considered we construct inflationary models with quadratic and quartic monomial potentials and the Gauss-Bonnet term. Numerical …
