A Galileon Design of Slow Expansion: II

, 2012
We parameterize the evolutions of the slow expansion, which emerges from a static state in infinite past, into different classes. We show that the scale invariant adiabatical perturbation may be generated during these evolutions, and the corrsponding ...
