Based on the dynamics of single scalar field slow-roll inflation and the theory of reheating, we investigate the generalized natural inflationary (GNI) model. Concretely, we give constraints on the scalar spectral index $n_{s}$ and tensor-to scalar ratio $r$ for $\Lambda$CDM $+r$ model according to the latest data from Plack 2018 TT,TE,EE+lowE+lensing (P18) and BICEP2/Keck 2015 season (BK15), i.e., $n_{s}=0.9659\pm0.0044$ at $68\%$ confidence level (CL) and $r<0.0623$ at $95\%$CL. We find that the GNI model is favored by P18 plus BK15 in the ranges of $\log_{10}(f/M_{p})=0.62^{+0.17}_{-0.18}$ and $m=0.35^{+0.13}_{-0.23}$ at $68\%$CL. In addition, the corresponding predictions of the general and two-phase reheating are respectively discussed. It follows that the parameter $m$ has the significant effect on the model behaviors.

  1. Dilaton-Flattened Axion Inflation

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Dilaton backreaction on an anomaly-inspired axion potential generates a closed-form Lambert-W flattened hilltop, giving r ≈ 0.033–0.036 and α_s ≈ −4.6×10^{-4} at N=56 with strictly adiabatic dynamics.

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    K-inflation with non-canonical kinetic term G(φ) shifts α-attractor T-models and natural inflation into the Planck-ACT-LB-BK18 allowed region while satisfying Swampland conjectures and producing testable GW spectra.
