This paper is based on a talk in which I discussed how a component of the dynamical affine connection, that is independent of the metric, can drive inflation in agreement with observations. This provides a geometrical origin for the inflaton. I also illustrated how the decays of this field, which has spin 0 and odd parity, into Higgs bosons can reheat the universe to a sufficiently high temperature.

Intrinsic Torsion, Extrinsic Torsion, and the Hubble Parameter
The second fundamental form of a spatial slice in a torsional spacetime is a sum of the Hubble term and an extrinsic torsion term, producing a negative bias in Hubble estimates when torsion is neglected.

Geometrical origin of inflation in Weyl-invariant Einstein-Cartan gravity
The scalar mode of Weyl-invariant Einstein-Cartan quadratic gravity yields the same inflationary potential as pseudoscalaron inflation and can fit CMB data for large parameter q.
