Recent observations suggest that the spectral index of the primordial perturbations is very close to unity, as expected in models of slow roll inflation. It is still possible for such models to produce spectra which are scale dependent. We present a formula for the spectrum produced by an arbitrary inflaton potential (within the context of slow roll models); this formula explicitly illustrates and accounts for the possiblity of scale dependence. A class of examples are studied and comparisons made with the standard slow roll formula.

  1. Penumbral Inflation from Calabi-Yau Boundaries

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A string-theoretic construction maps Calabi-Yau boundary data into a logarithmic plateau inflation model, yielding the leading tensor-to-scalar prediction r = 4d/(q²N²) with Hodge degree d.

  2. Raising the reionization optical depth with inflationary CMB features

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Marginalizing over generalized slow-roll inflationary templates for the CMB low-power feature raises the 95% upper limit on τ to 0.075 (Planck) or 0.082 (all CMB+BAO), resolving incompatibility with lower bounds.
