Na\"ive dimensional analysis seems to suggest possible unitarity violations in the framework of the Higgs and new Higgs inflationary scenarios. These violations seem to happen around the value in which the potential energy, per given Higgs boson's vacuum expectation value, crosses the perturbative cut-off scale calculated around the electroweak vacuum. Conversely to these expectations, in this paper we show that, by using an exact analysis of the background dependent cut-off scale, and by including the contribution of the phase-space volume in the perturbative scattering amplitudes, no violation of (perturbative) unitarity might ever happen during the whole Universe evolution.

Inflation with nondynamic distortion to leading order in slow roll
Nondynamic distortion integrated out of a 13-parameter metric-affine action sources the entire inflaton kinetic term; monomial models depend only on exponent ratio while α-attractors recover modified Starobinsky observables.

Inflation with the Gauss-Bonnet term in the Palatini formulation
In Palatini gravity the inflaton–Gauss–Bonnet coupling yields a negative Chern–Simons-like kinetic correction and similar GW modifications, with metric-like behaviour unless the kinetic term nearly flips sign.
