We consider Weyl-invariant quadratic Einstein-Cartan gravity coupled to a scalar field and study the inflationary behaviour of the coupled system of the scalar field and the pseudoscalar associated with the Holst invariant. We find that the model is characterized by effective single-field inflation occurring at small field values and analyze its predictions which are in comfortable agreement with existing observations for a range of parameter values.

  1. Quasi-pole inflation in metric-affine gravity

    gr-qc 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Non-minimal coupling of the inflaton to the Holst invariant in metric-affine gravity induces quasi-pole kinetics that generate an exponential plateau potential and Starobinsky-equivalent predictions regardless of the ...

  2. Natural Metric-Affine Inflation: Reloaded

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Combining periodic non-minimal couplings to the Nieh-Yan term and Ricci scalar in metric-affine gravity makes natural inflation viable for sub-Planckian periodicity scales.

  3. Einstein-Cartan pseudoscalaron inflation, reheating and nonthermal leptogenesis

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Einstein-Cartan pseudoscalaron inflation coupled to type-I seesaw neutrinos makes nonthermal leptogenesis a necessary mechanism for the baryon asymmetry, yielding ns ~ 0.97, r ~ 0.004 and nB/s ~ 8.7e-11 for gamma ~ -1...

  4. Naturally Light Distortion

    gr-qc 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A naturally light scalar-like distortion field emerges in generalized gravity and mixes with the Higgs boson.

  5. Atomic clocks and gravitational waves as probes of non-metricity

    gr-qc 2026-01 reject novelty 5.0

    The paper claims existing gravitational-wave data already bound Weyl non-metricity, α²ω̄0<10⁻⁶⁹ GeV, via backreaction of a Planck-scale Weyl field, but a dropped kinetic term numerically exceeds the assumed sensitivity.

  6. Inflationary assessment of $F(\mathcal{R},\tilde{\mathcal{R}})$ Einstein-Cartan models

    gr-qc 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0

    Adding cubic Holst-invariant terms to F(R,R̃) Einstein-Cartan inflation models systematically lowers the predicted spectral index n_s and tensor-to-scalar ratio r, restoring data compatibility in parameter regions whe...

  7. Reheating in geometric Weyl-invariant Einstein-Cartan gravity

    gr-qc 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Reheating temperature and equation-of-state parameter assumptions in Weyl-invariant Einstein-Cartan gravity models significantly alter predicted inflationary observables.
