The Starobinsky model of cosmological inflation in four spacetime dimensions is reviewed with the emphasis on impact of quantum gravity corrections. As a specific example of the quantum corrections, the Grisaru-Zanon quartic curvature terms in the gravitational effective action of closed superstrings are chosen. Those quartic curvature terms are compared to the Bel-Robinson tensor squared in a flat Friedman universe, and the upper bound on the effective string coupling constant is found by demanding unitarity (causality) and the absence of ghosts. It is found that the quantum corrections to the observables (tilts) of the cosmic microwave background radiation in the Starobinsky inflation may be of the same order of magnitude as the next-to-next-to-next classical contributions in the Starobinsky model with respect to the inverse powers of the e-folding number at the horizon crossing.

  1. Higgs boson mass and thermal wino dark matter from Starobinsky supergravity with the MSSM

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Starobinsky supergravity coupled to the MSSM links the CMB inflationary scale to the Higgs boson mass (~125 GeV) and predicts thermal wino dark matter at ~3 TeV, testable at future colliders and direct detection experiments.

  2. Effect of $R^2$ on the stability of de Sitter solution of the generalized Einsteinian cubic gravity

    physics.gen-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Generalized Einsteinian cubic gravity admits a de Sitter solution from the P cubic term alone; stability analysis is incomplete until the R^2 term is added, which leaves the solution value unchanged.

  3. On Legacy of Starobinsky Inflation

    gr-qc 2025-01 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    A memorial review of the Starobinsky inflation model that proposes a deformation for primordial black hole production and discusses superstring quantum corrections plus universal reheating.
