Features and implications of the plateau inflationary potentials
After the last Planck CMB data the plateau potentials are the favoured ones for inflation. In the first part of this talk, I will give some examples of such inflationary models with and without supergravity, emphasizing particularly on the Starobinsky model. In the second part, I will discuss the crucial implications of this new sort of potentials for the standard picture of the inflationary theory.
