abstract
We consider $R^2$ inflation in the Palatini gravity assuming the existence of scalar fields, coupled to gravity in the most general manner. These theories, in the Einstein frame, and for one scalar field $h$, share common features with $K$ - inflation models. We apply this formalism for the study of popular inflationary models, whose potentials are monomials, $ V \sim h^{n} $, with $ n $ a positive even integer. We also study the Higgs model non-minimally coupled to gravity. Although these have been recently studied, in the framework of the Palatini approach, we show that the scalar power spectrum severely constrains these models. Although we do not propose a particular reheating mechanism, we show that the quadratic $ \sim h^2$ and the Higgs model can survive these constraints with a maximum reheating temperature as large as $ \sim 10^{15} \, GeV$, when reheating is instantaneous. However, this can be only attained at the cost of a delicate fine-tuning of couplings. Deviations from this fine-tuned values can still yield predictions compatible with the cosmological data, for couplings that lie in very tight range, giving lower reheating temperatures.

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.

Observable Primordial Gravitational Waves from Non-minimally Coupled $R^2$ Palatini Modified Gravity
For non-minimally coupled Palatini R^2 inflation with a runaway potential, the predicted primordial gravitational wave spectrum has two flat plateaus connected by a kination boost, and it becomes more observable as th...

Constraining Quintessential Inflation with ACT: A Gauss-Bonnet Gateway
Exponential and sech Gauss–Bonnet couplings restore ACT-compatible ns and r for quintessential inflation, while tanh fails for a structural sign reason; reheating remains BBN-safe.

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.
