abstract
We present a complete explicit N=1, d=4 supergravity action in an arbitrary Jordan frame with non-minimal scalar-curvature coupling of the form $\Phi(z, \bar z)\, R$. The action is derived by suitably gauge-fixing the superconformal action. The theory has a modified Kaehler geometry, and it exhibits a significant dependence on the frame function $\Phi (z, \bar z)$ and its derivatives over scalars, in the bosonic as well as in the fermionic part of the action. Under certain simple conditions, the scalar kinetic terms in the Jordan frame have a canonical form. We consider an embedding of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) gauge theory into supergravity, clarifying the Higgs inflation model recently proposed by Einhorn and Jones. We find that the conditions for canonical kinetic terms are satisfied for the NMSSM scalars in the Jordan frame, which leads to a simple action. However, we find that the gauge singlet field experiences a strong tachyonic instability during inflation in this model. Thus, a modification of the model is required to support the Higgs-type inflation.

The paper introduces new exponential and polynomial supergravity ξ-attractor models in the Jordan frame with non-minimal coupling and shows that Palatini gravity with independent affine connection has no supergravity embedding.
New ξ-attractors with non-minimal coupling and non-canonical kinetics yield Einstein-frame exponential and polynomial potentials whose ns spans 1-2/N to 1-1/N and r can reach zero as ξ grows, fitting Planck, BICEP/Keck, ACT, SPT, and DESI data, plus a supergravity realization.
A review thesis covering Mukhanov parametrization, general scalar-tensor theories, and new slow-roll techniques for canonical and noncanonical inflation observables.
