Higgs-like inflation in scalar-torsion $f(T,\ddot{I}•)$ gravity in light of ACT-SPT-DESI constraints

Nitesh Kumar, Giovanni Otalora, Rodrigo Reyes +3

We study Higgs-like inflation in the framework of scalar-torsion gravity, focusing on the general class of $f(T,\ddot{I}•)$ theories in which gravitation is mediated by torsion rather tha…
