  We explore Goldstone boson potentials in non-compact cosets of the form
SO(n,1)/SO(n). We employ a geometric approach to find the scalar potential, and
focus on the conditions under which it is compact in the large field limit. We
show that such a potential is found for a specific misalignment of the vacuum.
This result has applications in different contexts, such as in Composite Higgs
scenarios and theories for the Early Universe. We work out an example of
inflation based on a non-compact coset which makes predictions which are
consistent with the current observational data.
