Anisotropic hyperbolic inflation

Abstract

Hyperbolic inflation is an extension of the slow-roll inflation in multi-field models. We extend hyperbolic inflation by adding a gauge field and find four-type attractor solutions: slow-roll inflation, hyperbolic inflation, anisotropic slow roll inflation, and anisotropic hyperbolic inflation. We perform the stability analysis with the dynamical system method. We also study the transition behaviors of solutions between anisotropic slow roll inflation and anisotropic hyperbolic inflation. Our result indicates that destabilization of the standard slow-roll inflation ubiquitously occurs in multi-scalar-gauge field inflationary scenarios.
