abstract
We explore the dynamics of multi-field models of inflation in which the field-space metric is a hyperbolic manifold of constant curvature. Such models are known as $\alpha$-attractors and their single-field regimes have been extensively studied in the context of inflation and supergravity. We find a variety of multi-field inflationary trajectories in different regions of parameter space, which is spanned by the mass parameters and the hyperbolic curvature. Amongst these is a novel dynamical attractor along the boundary of the Poincare disc which we dub "angular inflation". We calculate the evolution of adiabatic and isocurvature fluctuations during this regime and show that, while isocurvature modes decay during this phase, the duration of the angular inflation period can shift the single-field predictions of $\alpha$-attractors. For highly curved field-space manifolds, this can lead to predictions that lie outside the current observational bounds.

Mild Non-Gaussianities under Perturbative Control from Rapid-Turn Inflation Models
Leading-order exponential contributions to higher-order correlators in rapid-turn inflation cancel exactly in the in-in formalism, leaving order-one non-Gaussianity and preserving perturbative control.

Scalar-induced gravitational waves from inflation with symmetry breaking
Late gauge-field excitation in charged symmetry-breaking inflation pushes enhanced SIGWs into the GHz band, where longitudinal and charge-mixing parameters reshape the spectrum in opposite, distinguishable ways.

Fat Inflatons, Large Turns and the $\eta$-problem
Heavy scalar fields can still drive slow-roll inflation if the trajectory turns rapidly, evading the eta-problem; a D5-brane in a warped throat provides a concrete realization.

Canonical Scalar Field Inflation with a Woods-Saxon Potential
A Woods-Saxon (logistic) scalar potential is claimed to produce Planck-compatible inflation and reheating, but the supporting slow-roll equations contain sign and algebra errors.
