abstract
I give a general review of inflationary cosmology and of its present status, in view of the 2013 data release by the Planck satellite. A specific emphasis is given to the new broad class of theories, the cosmological attractors, which have nearly model-independent predictions converging at the sweet spot of the Planck data in the (n_s,r) plane. I also discuss the problem of initial conditions for the theories favored by the Planck data.

Improved end-of-inflation dynamics shift the Starobinsky model's predicted spectral index n_s by up to 1.2×10^{-3} within the allowed reheating range.
Finite recombination thickness introduces Gaussian smoothing in ln k to the primordial power spectrum, producing non-trivial differences between TT and EE spectral indices that may be detectable in future CMB data.
Positive running of the spectral index is achievable in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity with viable inflation, unlike standard scalar field and F(R) models which face challenges.
Adiabatic regularization combined with smoothed transitions suppresses the high-frequency oscillations in the power spectrum of primary gravitational waves about a zero mean.
Genetic algorithm reconstructs single-field inflationary models with features in the scalar power spectrum that fit Planck 2018 CMB data better by Δχ² ≲ -10 and suggest alternative background parameters.
A single f(Q, L_m) gravity model with HRDE produces Starobinsky-like inflation at high curvature and late-time acceleration, with RGUP corrections keeping n_s and r consistent with Planck while shifting the running of the spectral index.
In f(Q,φ) gravity with nonminimal coupling, De Sitter inflation works only for 10^{-3} ≲ ξ ≲ 10^{-2} while a Cosh model gives ns ≈ 0.965-0.967 and r ≈ 0.017-0.018 at N=60, matching observations.
MCMC analysis of sixteen ghost-free f(R,G) inflation models shows all reproduce ns ≈ 0.97 at 60 e-folds with stable μ ≈ 0.1, preference set by Hubble parametrization.
Numerical demonstration that a revised multimeasure multifield model with effective friction can describe the entire Universe evolution from inflation to late-time constant scalar field.
Modified gravity theories supply viable mathematical frameworks for inflation, bounces, and dark energy eras that match observational data.
