Inflation with Nieh-Yan-like terms in metric-affine gravity
Ilaria Andrei, Christian Dioguardi, Damianos Iosifidis +3
We study single-field slow-roll inflation in metric-affine gravity with a scalar field non-minimally coupled to the non-Riemannian Ricci scalar and to the divergences of the torsio…
Quasi-pole inflation in metric-affine gravity
Antonio Racioppi
We propose a new mechanism for inflationary model building in the framework of metric-affine gravity. Such a mechanism involves an inflaton non-minimally coupled with the Holst inv…
Quasi-pole quintessential inflation in metric-affine gravity
Konstantinos Dimopoulos, Christian Dioguardi, Ioannis D. Gialamas +1
We study quintessential inflation in the framework of metric-affine gravity. It is well known that non-minimal couplings with the Holst invariant can generate a quasi-pole inflatio…
Natural inflation in Palatini
N. Bostan, R. H. Dejrah, C. Dioguardi +1
Palatini gravity provides a robust framework for constructing viable inflationary potentials. In this study, we examine natural inflation and show that its consistency with…
Natural inflation in Palatini
N. Bostan, R. H. Dejrah, C. Dioguardi +1
In the context of Palatini gravity, models, with X the inflaton kinetic term, are characterized by the appealing property of generating asymptotically flat inflaton potent…
Has ACT measured radiative corrections to the tree-level Higgs-like inflation?
Ioannis D. Gialamas, Alexandros Karam, Antonio Racioppi +1
Starobinsky inflation and nonminimally coupled (NMC) Higgs inflation have been among the most favored models of the early Universe, as their predictions for the scalar spectral ind…
