| contents | The early dark energy resolution of Hubble tension seems to be suggesting a scale-invariant Harrison-Zeldovich spectrum of primordial scalar perturbation, i.e. $n_s=1$ ($|n_s-1|\sim {\cal O}(0.001)$) for $H_0\sim 73$km/s/Mpc. In this work, we propose a possibility to acquire $n_s=1$ in single field slow-roll models of inflation. In our consideration, the potential of inflaton during inflation still preserve the shape of well-known single field inflation models in deep slow-roll region, but inflation ends suddenly due to a large step of inflaton potential. In particular, we investigate the implication of our scheme for chaotic inflation and Starobinski inflation, and show how they can be compatible with the observation for $n_s=1$. |
