Gauge-flation trajectories in chromo-natural inflation

We provide a detailed discussion of the multifield trajectories and inflationary dynamics of the recently proposed model of chromo-natural inflation, which allows for slow roll inflation on a steep potential with the aid of classical non-Abelian gauge fields. We show that slow roll inflation can be achieved across a wide range of the parameter space. We demonstrate that chromo-natural inflation includes trajectories that match those found in gauge-flation and describe how the theories are related.
