Alpha-attractor quintessential inflation models are disfavored by DESI observations and Delta Neff limits from gravitational waves, as they predict an inconsistent scalar spectral index when the gravitational-wave abundance is constrained.
Polynomial α-attractor P-models of inflation accommodate Planck and Planck+ACT CMB data for ranges of reheating temperatures when decays and fragmentation are included.
An R^3 modification to R^2-Higgs inflation fits the high n_s by inducing Goldstone preheating that reconciles CMB and inflationary energy scales.
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.
F-term hybrid inflation with SU(1,1)/U(1) or SU(2)/U(1) Kähler geometry in GUTs can be realized without inflationary extrema for broad parameters, matching ACT/SPT data via curvature and tadpole adjustments while predicting cosmic string gravitational waves.
MCMC analysis of sixteen ghost-free f(R,G) inflation models shows all reproduce ns ≈ 0.97 at 60 e-folds with stable μ ≈ 0.1, preference set by Hubble parametrization.
In this two-field completion, trajectories connected to the Starobinsky solution keep entropy modes suppressed so that curvature and tensor perturbations remain effectively single-field Starobinsky-like.
Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet corrections with exponential or sech couplings shift quintessential inflation into the 1 sigma ACT region for r and ns, while tanh coupling remains disfavored.
A Palatini-inspired induced-gravity inflation model in supergravity fits ACT DR6 data while embedding into a B-L extended MSSM with split SUSY and leptogenesis.
