Motivated by the ultraviolet complete theory of quantum gravity, for example the string theory, we investigate a polynomial $f(R )$ inflation model in detail. We calculate the spectral index and tensor-to-scalar ratio in the $f(R )$ inflation model with the form of $f(R )=R+{R^2\over 6M^2}+{\lambda_n\over 2n}{R^n\over (3M^2)^{n-1}}$. Compared to Planck 2013, we find that $R^n$ term should be exponentially suppressed, i.e. $|\lambda_n|\lesssim 10^{-2n+2.6}$.

  1. The implications of inflation for the last ACT

    astro-ph.CO 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A parameterized slow-roll model and a new exponential f(R) inflation model are constrained by P-ACT-LB-BK18 data, with the latter aligning to the ACT scalar spectral index preference in both standard and EDE frameworks.

    Authors add induced gravity and a polynomial potential to an F(R) model, transform to a two-field chiral cosmology, and find parameter choices that match ACT inflation data while yielding PBH masses compatible with da...
