Comment on "Attractor solutions in scalar-field cosmology" and "How many e-folds should we expect from high-scale inflation?"
Abstract
It was claimed in Ref.[1] that in the spatially flat cosmological case there exists a unique conserved measure (up to normalization) on the effective phase space $(\phi,\dot{\phi})$ for scalar-field with $m^2\phi^2$ potential through the proof of the existence of a unique solution to the differential equation $(44)$ with a unique physical solution in the low-energy limit. Moreover, in Ref.[2] it was also claimed that a unique physical solution to the same differential equation was found in the high-energy limit. In this comment, we reexamine these claims. We obtain general physical solutions to the equation $(44)$ both in the low-energy and high-energy limit, which include the asymptotic solutions in Ref.[1] and Ref.[2] as special cases. Therefore, we conclude that following the constructions in Ref.[1] there actually exist infinitely many conserved measures for the scalar-field with $m^2\phi^2$ potential.
