Alpha-attractor quintessential inflation models are disfavored by DESI observations and Delta Neff limits from gravitational waves, as they predict an inconsistent scalar spectral index when the gravitational-wave abundance is constrained.

Polynomial α-attractor P-models of inflation accommodate Planck and Planck+ACT CMB data for ranges of reheating temperatures when decays and fragmentation are included.
A Palatini-supergravity Higgs-inflation model with induced gravity predicts a scalar spectral index ns≈0.972-0.974, consistent with ACT DR6, and favors split supersymmetry with gravitino mass 40-60 PeV.
A parameterized slow-roll model and a new exponential f(R) inflation model are constrained by P-ACT-LB-BK18 data, with the latter aligning to the ACT scalar spectral index preference in both standard and EDE frameworks.
Exponential and sech Gauss–Bonnet couplings restore ACT-compatible ns and r for quintessential inflation, while tanh fails for a structural sign reason; reheating remains BBN-safe.
Thermal corrections to reheating and freeze-in DM production rates are generally small in the computable regime but can be large in constructed counter-examples.
Gravity-mediated production of scalar and vector dark radiation yields Planck 2018 constraints on reheating temperature T_RH and background equation of state w_Φ, with comparisons to right-handed neutrinos, ALPs, and a generic spin-2 mediator.
