abstract
In light of the latest results from ACT observations we review a class of potentials labeled as fractional attractors, that can originate from Palatini gravity. We show that, for certain choices of the scalar potential $V(\phi)$, the fractional attractors predict both a spectral index $n_s$ and a tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ that fall within the $1\sigma$ region of the combined ACT+Planck data for a wide range of parameters. We also provide a numerical fit for the parameter space of this models in the case of a simple quadratic and quartic fractional potential.

Gravitational waves from self-resonance during reheating with a quantum-corrected inflaton potential
A Coleman-Weinberg correction that cancels the inflaton's quadratic term at the potential minimum triggers quartic self-resonance and a peaked GW background at 10^8-10^10 Hz; a negative quadratic term instead gives a ...

ACT stands for Awkward Cosmology Theories
Reconciling Starobinsky inflation with ACT data requires fine-tuned higher-curvature scales, stiff reheating with ω_reh>1/3, or negative-energy towers, all hard to motivate from UV completions.

Induced-Gravity Palatini-Like Higgs Inflation in Supergravity Confronts ACT DR6
A Palatini-supergravity Higgs-inflation model with induced gravity predicts a scalar spectral index ns≈0.972-0.974, consistent with ACT DR6, and favors split supersymmetry with gravitino mass 40-60 PeV.

Adding a base-modulus redefinition to fibre inflation in perturbative LVS shifts (ns, r) into ACT-allowed territory and yields an axion quintessence companion.

Observational constraints on inflationary models with non-minimally derivative coupling by ACT
Inflationary potentials with non-minimally derivative coupling can produce larger scalar spectral tilts and lower tensor-to-scalar ratios, allowing them to fit ACT data, though the exponential attractor constraints co...

Improved Predictions on Higgs-Starobinsky Inflation and Reheating with ACT DR6 and Primordial Gravitational Waves
Adding the gravitational-wave bound on extra radiation shrinks the allowed reheating ranges and excludes Higgs-Starobinsky inflation at 1-sigma while leaving a 2-sigma window.

ACT DR6 Insights on the Inflationary Attractor models and Reheating
With ACT DR6 combined data, E-type alpha-attractors allow matter-like reheating, but T-type alpha-attractors require a stiff post-inflationary equation of state around w_phi=0.44 or higher.

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