abstract

We consider a minimally-coupled inflationary theory with a general scalar potential $V(f(\varphi))= V(\xi\sum_{k=1}^{n}\lambda_k \varphi^k)$ containing a stationary point of maximal order $m$. We show that asymptotically flat potentials can be associated to stationary points of infinite order and discuss the relation of our approach to the theory of $\alpha$-attractors.

  1. Tunnelling out of Starobinsky inflation: Raising the spectral tilt

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A first-order phase-transition exit from a displaced Starobinsky branch truncates ~12 e-folds, shifting the spectral tilt from n_s≈0.965 to ≈0.973 at r≈2×10⁻³.

  2. Ephemeral Oscillons in Scalar-Tensor Theories: The Higgs-like case

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a Higgs-like Einstein-Cartan inflation model, oscillons formed after inflation are short-lived and their decay drives radiation domination within about four e-folds.

  3. The Goldstone Awakens: Unimodular dark energy in scale-invariant $R^2$ gravity

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a scale-invariant R² + unimodular-gravity model, the Goldstone boson of scale symmetry becomes thawing dark energy, with its equation of state fixed by the same coupling that sets the inflationary spectral tilt.
