After Planck 2013, a broad class of inflationary models called \alpha-attractors was developed which has universal observational predictions. For small values of the parameter \alpha, the models have good consistency with the recent CMB data. In this work, we first calculate analytically (and verify numerically) the predictions of these models for spectral index, n_s and tensor-to-scalar ratio, r and then using BICEP2/Keck 2015 data we impose constraints on \alpha-attractors. Then, we study the reheating in \alpha-attractors. The reheating temperature, T_{re} and the number of e-folds during reheating, N_{re} are calculated as functions of n_s. Using these results, we determine the range of free parameter \alpha for two clasees of \alpha-attractors which satisfy the constraints of recent CMB data.

Tachyonic Encore: A universal shift of inflationary observables
A light axion spectator induces post-inflation tachyonic phases that produce a nearly scale-invariant boost to the curvature power spectrum and alter key inflationary observables in a largely potential-independent manner.

ACT-ing on inflation: Implications of non Bunch-Davies initial condition and reheating on single-field slow roll models
Non-Bunch-Davies initial conditions substantially improve the fit of various single-field slow-roll inflation models to updated n_s-r constraints from ACT DR6 combined with Planck, DESI, and BICEP/Keck data.

Relativistic accretion and burdened primordial black holes
Combining relativistic accretion with memory-burdened evaporation widens the parameter space for primordial black holes as dark matter and changes dark matter and dark radiation emission predictions.

Canonical Scalar Field Inflation with a Woods-Saxon Potential
A Woods-Saxon (logistic) scalar potential is claimed to produce Planck-compatible inflation and reheating, but the supporting slow-roll equations contain sign and algebra errors.
