Slow-roll inflation without fine-tuning
The slow-roll approximation is the usual starting point to study the constraints imposed on the inflaton potential parameters by the observational data. We show that, for a potential exhibiting at least two extrema and giving rise to a limited inflationary period, slow-roll does not have to be taken as an additional hypothesis and is in fact forced by the constraints on the number of e-foldings.
