Running spectral index in noncommutative inflation and WMAP three year results Original Research Article

A model independent analysis shows that the running of the spectral index of the three year WMAP results can be nicely realized in noncommutative inflation. We also re-examine some concrete noncommutative inflation models. We find that a large tensor–scalar ratio is required, corresponding to a low number of e-folds before the end of inflation in some simple models.
