Slow-roll inflation in f (R, T, R abT ab) gravity
This research explores slow-roll inflation using f(R, T, R abT ab) gravity to see how coupling between curvature and matter affects cosmology. By applying the slow-roll approximation, it derives equations identical to those in related theories with an RT mixing term. This allows researchers to test different inflationary models like Starobinsky and Hilltop within a familiar framework.
