The abstract, sentence by sentence

A correction to the Quartic Hilltop inflationary model is proposed to account for stabilising terms in the potential. We derive analytical predictions for the spectral index $n_s$ and tensor-scalar ratio $r$ which lie within the Planck 2018 survey bounds. The reheating predictions of the corrected model are investigated and by considering the reheating temperature we further constrain the $(n_s,r)$ parameter space. It is shown that the correction terms are physically important during inflation and generally need to be accounted for when considering Hilltop models as a candidate for inflation.

The paper
Original abstract

A correction to the Quartic Hilltop inflationary model is proposed to account for stabilising terms in the potential. We derive analytical predictions for the spectral index $n_s$ and tensor-scalar ratio $r$ which lie within the Planck 2018 survey bounds. The reheating predictions of the corrected model are investigated and by considering the reheating temperature we further constrain the $(n_s,r)$ parameter space. It is shown that the correction terms are physically important during inflation and generally need to be accounted for when considering Hilltop models as a candidate for inflation.

  • [ref] is to convert it into a sombrero-hat potential (e.g. [ref] ) [equation] In this article, for the sake of curiosity and research, we give up the attempt of stabilization and relax the overall power that is currently 2 and consider it as a new parameter $n$, obtaining the following potential [equation] where $m$, $n$, $V_0$, $ϕ_0>0$ are free parameters and only positive values for $ϕ$ are considered as well.

  • This class of models has been investigated in a wide variety of contexts including inflation and dark energy (see e.g. [ref] ), and is described by a potential of the following form, [equation] where $V_0$ is the energy scale at the height of the potential, $μ$ is a mass scale, and $n$ is an integer.

  • While hilltop models in general, and the $V_p,n$ above in particular, have traditionally been considered in the context of singlefield inflation (see e.g. [ref] ), this class of potentials is also of interest in the framework of multifield inflation models that describe saddle point inflation.
