abstract
We compare Higgs inflation in the metric and Palatini formulations of general relativity, with loop corrections are treated in a simple approximation. We consider Higgs inflation on the plateau, at a critical point, at a hilltop and in a false vacuum. In the last case there are only minor differences. Otherwise we find that in the Palatini formulation the tensor-to-scalar ratio is consistently suppressed, spanning the range $1\times10^{-13}<r<7\times10^{-5}$, compared to the metric case result $2\times10^{-5}<r<0.2$. Even when the values of $n_s$ and $r$ overlap, the running and running of the running are different in the two formulations. Therefore, if Higgs is the inflaton, inflationary observables can be used to distinguish between different gravitational degrees of freedom, in this case to determine whether the connection is an independent variable. Non-detection of $r$ in foreseeable future observations would not rule out Higgs inflation, only its metric variant. We conclude that in order to fix the theory of Higgs inflation, not only the particle physics UV completion but also the gravitational degrees of freedom have to be explicated.

Degenerate higher-order scalar-tensor theories in metric-affine gravity
A metric-affine version of quadratic DHOST theories is derived and reduced to a one-function family that satisfies degeneracy conditions and light-speed gravitational wave propagation.

Inflation with nondynamic distortion to leading order in slow roll
Nondynamic distortion integrated out of a 13-parameter metric-affine action sources the entire inflaton kinetic term; monomial models depend only on exponent ratio while α-attractors recover modified Starobinsky observables.

Ephemeral Oscillons in Scalar-Tensor Theories: The Higgs-like case
In a Higgs-like Einstein-Cartan inflation model, oscillons formed after inflation are short-lived and their decay drives radiation domination within about four e-folds.

Torsional pseudo-inflation beyond Einstein-Cartan
Spin-fluid torsion cannot sustain inflation beyond about 0.46 e-folds, but a coupling-fed axial torsion condensate can hold an exact de Sitter background with an algebraic exit.

Two-Measure Electroweak Standard Model. Some aspects of cosmological evolution and vacuum stability
The paper derives a two-measure version of the electroweak Standard Model in which couplings run classically with the cosmological background, giving small-xi Higgs inflation and a reparameterized fermion mass hierarchy.

$\tilde\xi$-attractors in metric-affine gravity
A new class of metric-affine inflationary models, the ξ-tilde-attractors, reproduces Starobinsky inflation as a universal attractor in two strong-coupling limits.

Constant-roll $\beta$-exponential inflation: Palatini formalism
A parameter scan of constant-roll β-exponential inflation in Palatini R² gravity claims agreement with ACT/Planck contours, but the derivation is undermined by algebraic sign errors and an absent non-Gaussianity calculation.

Large Field Polynomial Inflation in Palatini $f(R,\phi)$ Gravity
Large-field polynomial inflation in Palatini f(R, phi) gravity can match Planck and BICEP/Keck data over broad parameter regions, and a negative R-squared coupling can suppress the tensor-to-scalar ratio to CMB-S4 levels.

Quadratic, Higgs and hilltop potentials in the Palatini gravity
In Palatini gravity, quadratic inflation matches CMB data only for small nonminimal coupling and efficient reheating, while hilltop potentials match only below the vacuum expectation value with tiny coupling.
