A unified model of inflation and dark energy based on the holographic spacetime foam
Abstract
I present a model of inflation and dark energy in which the inflaton potential is constructed by imposing that a scalar field representing the classical energy of the spacetime foam inside the Hubble horizon is an exact solution to the cosmological equations. The resulting potential has the right properties to describe both the early and late expansion epochs of the universe in a unified picture.
