Resumo

Standard inflationary models yield a characteristic signature of a primordial power spectrum with a red tensor and scalar tilt. Nevertheless, Cannone et al. [1] recently suggested that, by breaking the assumption of spatial diffeomorphism invariance in the context of the effective field theory of inflation, a blue tensor spectrum can be achieved without violating the Null Energy Condition. In tins context, we explore in which cases the inflationary model of [1] can yield a blue tilt of the tensor modes along with a red tilt in the scalar spectrum. Ultimately, we analyze under which conditions the model of [1] can reproduce the specific consistency relation of String Gas Cosmology. (AU)
