abstract

It has been previously shown that the linear inflation appears naturally as a solution of Coleman-Weinberg inflation, provided that the inflaton has a non-minimal coupling to gravity and the Planck scale is dynamically generated. We revisit the previous study by improving the discussion of reheating and by comparing the results of the metric and the Palatini formulations of non-minimal gravity. We find that both formulations predict linear inflation but a different number of $e$-folds. If the non-minimal coupling is larger than one, future experimental sensitivity can discriminate between the two realizations.

Quasi-pole inflation in metric-affine gravity

gr-qc · 2025-12-18 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Non-minimal coupling of the inflaton to the Holst invariant in metric-affine gravity induces quasi-pole kinetics that generate an exponential plateau potential and Starobinsky-equivalent predictions regardless of the bare potential.

Natural Metric-Affine Inflation: Reloaded

gr-qc · 2026-05-22 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Combining periodic non-minimal couplings to the Nieh-Yan term and Ricci scalar in metric-affine gravity makes natural inflation viable for sub-Planckian periodicity scales.

  • Induced Multi-phase Inflation with Reheating: Leptogenesis and Dark Matter Production in Metric versus Palatini hep-ph · 2026-04-10 · unverdicted · none · ref 29

    Multi-phase non-minimal inflation in metric and Palatini gravity predicts ns between 0.93 and 0.98, r up to 0.03 in metric but below 10^{-5} in Palatini, with non-thermal DM and leptogenesis viable for couplings in the 10^{-7} to 10^{-3} range.
