Quintessential Inflation in Palatini $F(R,X)$ gravity

Abstract

Palatini $F(R,X)$ gravity, with $X$ the inflaton kinetic term, proved to be a powerful framework for generating asymptotically flat inflaton potentials. Here we show that a quadratic Palatini $F(R,X)$ restores compatibility with the observational data of the Peebles-Vilenkin quintessential inflation model. Moreover, the same can be achieved with an exponential version of the Peebles-Vilenkin potential if embedded in a Palatini $F(R,X)$ of order higher than two.
