For monomial inflationary potentials with k≥4, the inflaton regenerates from the thermal bath after reheating because its amplitude-dependent mass vanishes asymptotically.
Out-of-equilibrium superfluids in Bjorken, Gubser and FLRW flows reach hydrodynamic attractors after an initial-condition-dependent attractor time, with a novel nonlinear constant-anisotropy regime in Gubser evolution.
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.
A vacuum-decay model generates primordial curvature perturbations from spatially correlated stochastic noise rather than inflaton fluctuations, solving horizon and flatness problems with zero tensor-to-scalar ratio.
Physics equation corpora exhibit exponential decay in mathematical operator frequencies, proposed as a meta-law that narrows the space of plausible expressions for symbolic regression.
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.
α-attractor quintessence models approximate axion-like potentials and fit DESI dynamical dark energy data, preferring α of order 1 via a simple fa-α relation.
An effective constrained scalar-Gauss-Bonnet inflation model yields n_s ≃ 0.958 and r ≃ 2.7×10^{-4} while the exact theory has no propagating scalar degree of freedom.
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.
Single-field inflation with ε(N) approaching a constant in (0,1) at early times forms an asymptotic universality class with a Weyl-flat null origin while producing ns and r values compatible with Planck data.
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.
Breaking diffeomorphism invariance to transverse diffeomorphisms in the inflaton sector yields modified slow-roll parameters and power spectra with novel post-inflationary regimes for quadratic potentials.
Non-Bunch-Davies initial conditions substantially improve the fit of various single-field slow-roll inflation models to updated n_s-r constraints from ACT DR6 combined with Planck, DESI, and BICEP/Keck data.
Deriving Hubble slow-roll parameters from an analytic approximate Hubble parameter in Starobinsky inflation provides better accuracy than the potential slow-roll approximation, reducing the inferred e-foldings by more than one for ns=0.9649.
Non-parametric knot-based reconstruction of the primordial power spectrum P_R(k) from BOSS+eBOSS data up to k=0.3 h/Mpc favors a quasi-scale-invariant power law and constrains n_s = 0.976 ± 0.021 with no evidence for primordial features.
F-term hybrid inflation with SU(1,1)/U(1) or SU(2)/U(1) Kähler geometry in GUTs can be realized without inflationary extrema for broad parameters, matching ACT/SPT data via curvature and tadpole adjustments while predicting cosmic string gravitational waves.
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.
