It is investigated the reconstruction during the slow-roll inflation in the most general class of scalar-torsion theories whose Lagrangian density is an arbitrary function $f(T,\phi)$ of the torsion scalar $T$ of teleparallel gravity and the inflaton $\phi$. For the class of theories with Lagrangian density $f(T,\phi)=-M_{pl}^{2} T/2 - G(T) F(\phi) - V(\phi)$, with $G(T)\sim T^{s+1}$ and the power $s$ as constant, we consider a reconstruction scheme for determining both the non-minimal coupling function $F(\phi)$ and the scalar potential $V(\phi)$ through the parametrization (or attractor) of the scalar spectral index $n_{s}(N)$ and the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r(N)$ as functions of the number of $e-$folds $N$. As specific examples, we analyze the attractors $n_{s}-1 \propto 1/N$ and $r\propto 1/N$, as well as the case $r\propto 1/N (N+\gamma)$ with $\gamma$ a dimensionless constant. In this sense and depending on the attractors considered, we obtain different expressions for the function $F(\phi)$ and the potential $V(\phi)$, as also the constraints on the parameters present in our model and its reconstruction.

  1. Higgs-like inflation in scalar-torsion $f(T,\phi)$ gravity in light of ACT-SPT-DESI constraints

    gr-qc 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0

    Higgs-like inflation in f(T,φ) torsion gravity can accommodate the ACT/DESI upward shift in the scalar spectral index while predicting a tensor-to-scalar ratio r≈0.01–0.04.
