Abstract

Due to the importance of inflation, considerable effort has gone into developing different inflationary scenarios. In most of them inflation is driven by a self-interacting scalar field. Here we discuss an alternative way to implement an inflationary stage provided by noncanonical kinetic terms in the action for the scalar field.
