An appealing explanation for the Planck data is provided by inflationary models with a singular non-canonical kinetic term: a Laurent expansion of the kinetic function translates into a potential with a nearly shift-symmetric plateau in canonical fields. The shift symmetry can be broken at large field values by including higher-order poles, which need to be hierarchically suppressed in order not to spoil the inflationary plateau. The herefrom resulting corrections to the inflationary dynamics and predictions are shown to be universal at lowest order and possibly to induce power loss at large angular scales. At lowest order there are no corrections from a pole of just one order higher and we argue that this phenomenon is related to the well-known extended no-scale structure arising in string theory scenarios. Finally, we outline which other corrections may arise from string loop effects.

  1. Inflationary Particle Production and the Swampland

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Tower-induced corrections to inflationary observables scale as (H/Λsp)^{2+p} and are negligible whenever H≪Λsp.

  2. Torsion induced current-scalaron coupling in Einstein-Cartan gravity

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In Einstein-Cartan gravity, torsion-current couplings induce scalaron-current and scalaron Chern-Simons interactions, with explicit decay constants and a classification of their asymptotic behavior.

  3. Starobinsky Inflation with T-Model Kaehler Geometries

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Starobinsky-like inflation is embedded in supergravity via T-model Kähler potentials, yielding ns in the range 0.961 to 0.969 and a tensor-to-scalar ratio that rises with Kähler curvature.

  4. The pole inflation from broken non-compact isometry in Weyl gravity

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Weyl gravity with a broken SO(1,N) scalar isometry produces pole inflation whose predictions vary with a parameter a, which also fixes the Weyl gauge boson mass and allows a ~10 MeV Weyl photon dark matter candidate.
