Note on Power-Law Inflation in Noncommutative Space-Time
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new method to calculate the mode functions in the noncommutative power-law inflation model. In this model, all the modes created when the stringy space-time uncertainty relation is satisfied are generated inside the Hubble horizon during inflation. It turns out that a linear term describing the noncommutative space-time effect contributes to the power spectra of the scalar and tensor perturbations. Confronting this model with latest results from Planck and BICEP2, we constrain the parameters in this model and we find it is well consistent with observations.
