3 Non-minimally coupled χ field critical value when the tachyonic stage begins Comments m 2 eff = 0 = φ2 c = λv2 (1 κ 2 ξv 2 ) g 2 + 2κ 2 ξm 2 Forξ < g2 2κ 2 m 2, theχfield is always tachyonic, irrespective of the value ofφ, and inflation never happens. Forxi > 1 κ 2 v 2, inflation is never terminated byχfield. non-minimal vs. minimal hybrid Inflation Forξ > 0, inflation is terminated later than standard hybrid inflatio (ξ = 0). (φ c < φ c,ξ=0 ) Forξ < 0, inflation is terminated earlier than standard hybrid inflatio (ξ = 0). (φ c > φ c,ξ=0 )

16 Summary We consider hybrid inflation when an inflaton or a waterfall field couples to gravity nonminimally. For a waterfall field coupled to gravity ( ξ 1): 1 We investigate the effect of the entropy perturbations due to the waterfall field on the adiabatic perturbations. 2 We are investigating the effect of the classical and quantum backreaction effect on the curvature perturbations which are induced by the entropy perturbations. For an inflaton coupled to gravity: 1 In Einstein frame the potential has a local minimum or is monotonically increasing as φ increases for m4 < 1 µλv 4 depending on ξ. For m4 > 1, the potential has a local µλv 4 maximum or is monotonically increasing which can generate inflation. 2 The scalar spectral index shows blue-tilted or red-tilted spectrum depending on the coupling parameter ξ.
