Description

We describe an extended class of the conformally invariant theories which takes T-model as well as Starobinsky model as special cases. We derive a general relation between the two slow-roll parameters, and find that a large class of models can be embedded. Such models include more general Starobinsky-like inflation as well as the chaotic inflation model with a large tensor-to-scalar ratio consistent with the BICEP2 result.
