The dilaton is a possible inflaton candidate following recent CMB data allowing a non-minimal coupling to the Ricci curvature scalar in the early Universe. In this paper, we introduce an approach that has seldom been used in the literature, namely dilaton inflation with non-local features. More concretely, employing non-local features expressed in J. High Energy Phys. 04 (2007) 029, we study quadratic variations around a de Sitter geometry of an effective action with a non-local dilaton. The…
