Inflation model building with an accurate measure of e-folding
  It has become standard practice to take the logarithmic growth of the scale
factor as a measure of the amount of inflation, despite the well-known fact
that this is only an approximation for the true amount of inflation required to
solve the horizon and flatness problems. The aim of this work is to show how
this approximation can be completely avoided using an alternative framework for
inflation model building. We show that using the inverse Hubble radius as the
key dynamical parameter, the correct number of e-folding arises naturally as a
measure of inflation. As an application, we present an interesting model in
which the entire inflationary dynamics can be solved analytically and exactly,
and, in special cases, reduces to the familiar class of power-law models.
