abstract

The beta function formalism is being used to study the constant-roll inflation in the k-essence model. Assuming the second slow-roll parameter as a constant leads to a first-order differential equation for $\beta$-function which is much easier to solve and find a solution than the second (non-linear) order equation that we have in corresponding standard constant-roll inflation. Many cosmological models are known as a subclass of k-essence, so we will try to consider the model as general as possible. It is determined that the second slow-roll parameter should be positive to produce a small value for the first slow-roll parameter. The scenario is considered for three well-known cosmological models, and it is clarified that for the non-canonical and tachyon model, the scalar spectral index never reaches the observational range, however for the DBI model, we could arrive at a result consistent with observational data.

  1. Constraining Quintessential Inflation with ACT: A Gauss-Bonnet Gateway

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.5 of 10

    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.

  2. Starobinsky Inflation in k-Essence Framework: Attractor Dynamics, Reheating, and Consistency with ACT DR6

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A power-law non-canonical kinetic coupling F(φ)=1+Aφ^n revives the Starobinsky inflation potential's consistency with ACT DR6 CMB data while preserving attractor dynamics and yielding viable reheating.

  3. Power Law Plateau Inflation and Primary Gravitational Waves in the light of ACT

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Power-law plateau inflation can sit inside the 1 sigma region of ACT DR6, but the reheating bound from gravitational waves forces the total number of e-folds N_k below about 62.
