Abstract

Modeling the potential by an inverse square law in terms of the tachyon field [V(T)=βT2] we find an exact solution for a spatially flat isotropic universe. We show that for β>23/3 the model undergoes power-law inflation. A way to construct other exact solutions is specified and exemplified.
