φ2 or not φ2: Testing the simplest inflationary potential
The simplest inflationary model V=12m2φ2 represents the benchmark for future constraints. For a quadratic potential, the quantity (ns-1)+r/4+11(ns-1) 2/24 vanishes (up to corrections which are cubic in slow roll) and can be used to parametrize small deviations from the minimal scenario. Future const...

The simplest inflationary model V=12m2φ2 represents the benchmark for future constraints. For a quadratic potential, the quantity (ns-1)+r/4+11(ns-1) 2/24 vanishes (up to corrections which are cubic in slow roll) and can be used to parametrize small deviations from the minimal scenario. Future constraints on this quantity will be able to distinguish a quadratic potential from a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson with f30Mpl and set limits on the deviation from unity of the speed of sound |cs-1|3×10-2 (corresponding to an energy scale Λ2×1016GeV) and on the contribution of a second field to perturbations (6×10-2). The limiting factor for these bounds will be the uncertainty on the spectral index. The error on the number of e-folds will be ΔN≃0.4, corresponding to an error on the reheating temperature ΔTrh/Trh≃1.2.
