We consider a single scalar field inflation model with Higgs potential and curvature corrections given by non-minimal derivative coupling to gravity and coupling to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant. Exact analytical expressions, within the slow-roll approximation, are obtained for the main physical quantities. These corrections lead to successful inflation driven by the $\phi^4$-potential with the main inflationary observables in the regions restricted by the latest Planck data. It is shown that these curvature corrections can make the $\phi^4$ potential not only compatible with the current CMB observations, but also consistent with the Standard Model Higgs phenomenology, achieving the possibility that the Higgs boson acts as the primordial inflaton.

  1. Inflation with nondynamic distortion to leading order in slow roll

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    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.

  2. Inflation with the Gauss-Bonnet term in the Palatini formulation

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 accept novelty 5.0

    In Palatini gravity the inflaton–Gauss–Bonnet coupling yields a negative Chern–Simons-like kinetic correction and similar GW modifications, with metric-like behaviour unless the kinetic term nearly flips sign.

  3. Inflation with Gauss-Bonnet Correction and Higgs Potential

    gr-qc 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    A Higgs-potential inflation model with a Gauss-Bonnet correction yields r and n_s values compatible with ACT DR6 data after numerical integration of the e-folding integral.
