Minimal Plateau Inflation in light of ACT DR6 Observations
read the original abstract
We explore a class of minimal plateau inflationary models constrained by the latest cosmological observations from ACT DR6, Planck 2018, BICEP/Keck 2018, and DESI, collectively referred to as P-ACT-LB-BK18. These models, characterized by a non-polynomial potential, are analyzed using both inflationary and post-inflationary reheating dynamics, and the limits on the viable model parameter space are obtained. Our results show that the minimal model with matter-like post inflationary reheating phase remains consistent with current data at both $1\sigma$ and $2\sigma$ levels. The inflaton potential's exponent $n$ and reheating epoch are intertwined in that upon its increase, corresponding to the stiffer reheating equation of state, the viable model parameter space in accordance with ACT shrinks, which is further facilitated by the primordial gravitational waves (PGWs) overproduction. We further explored a supergravity-inspired extension of the model under study with similar results, but with tighter constraints on the model parameters. These results emphasize the importance of jointly analyzing CMB data and reheating physics to test inflationary models.

Beyond monomial $\alpha$-attractors
Binomial α-attractor T-models yield non-universal ns near c≈−1/2 and a transient radiation-like reheating phase only under large quartic/quadratic hierarchies, undermining fine-tuned large-p monomial assumptions.

Gravitational waves from self-resonance during reheating with a quantum-corrected inflaton potential
A Coleman-Weinberg correction that cancels the inflaton's quadratic term at the potential minimum triggers quartic self-resonance and a peaked GW background at 10^8-10^10 Hz; a negative quadratic term instead gives a ...

Inflation from a Weyl-flat null origin
Single-field inflation with ε(N) approaching a constant in (0,1) at early times forms an asymptotic universality class with a Weyl-flat null origin while producing ns and r values compatible with Planck data.

The implications of inflation for the last ACT
A parameterized slow-roll model and a new exponential f(R) inflation model are constrained by P-ACT-LB-BK18 data, with the latter aligning to the ACT scalar spectral index preference in both standard and EDE frameworks.

Constraining Quintessential Inflation with ACT: A Gauss-Bonnet Gateway
Exponential and sech Gauss–Bonnet couplings restore ACT-compatible ns and r for quintessential inflation, while tanh fails for a structural sign reason; reheating remains BBN-safe.

Constraining Quintessential Inflation with ACT: A Gauss-Bonnet Gateway
Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet corrections with exponential or sech couplings shift quintessential inflation into the 1 sigma ACT region for r and ns, while tanh coupling remains disfavored.

Conventional and Unitarity-Conserving Peccei-Quinn Inflation Models and ACT
Unitarity-conserving Peccei-Quinn inflation agrees with ACT data within 1 sigma and allows axion decay constants up to 6.4e13 GeV without post-inflation symmetry restoration, unlike the conventional model.
