Description
We consider an exactly scale-invariant model of scalar-tensor gravity and we show that it leads to a consistent model of cosmic inflation. We compute the spectral indices and we show that they fit with the most recent data. From a fundamental level, and when viewed in the Jordan frame, the model displays a classical breaking of scale-invariance and the natural emergence of a mass scale at the end of inflation.
