Anisotropic power-law inflation
@article{Kanno2010AnisotropicPI, title={Anisotropic power-law inflation}, author={Sugumi Kanno and J. Soda and Masa-aki Watanabe}, journal={Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics}, year={2010}, volume={2010}, pages={024-024} }
We study an inflationary scenario in supergravity model with a gauge kinetic function. We find exact anisotropic power-law inflationary solutions when both the potential function for an inflaton and the gauge kinetic function are exponential type. The dynamical system analysis tells us that the anisotropic power-law inflation is an attractor for a large parameter region.
