We describe a broad class of multi-field inflationary models with spontaneously broken conformal invariance. It generalizes the recently discovered class of cosmological attractors with a single inflaton field. In the new multi-field theories, just as in the previously studied single-field models, the moduli space has a boundary (Kahler cone) in terms of the original homogeneous conformal variables. Upon spontaneous breaking of the conformal invariance and switching to the Einstein frame, this boundary moves to infinity in terms of the canonically normalized inflaton field. This results in the exponential stretching and flattening of scalar potentials in the vicinity of the boundary of the moduli space, which makes even very steep potentials perfectly suitable for the slow-roll inflation. These theories, just like their single-field versions, typically lead to inflationary perturbations with n_s =1-2/N and r = 12/N^2, where N is the number of e-foldings.

  1. Closing in on $\alpha$-attractors

    astro-ph.CO 2025-11 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Under perturbative reheating, monomial α-attractor T-models cannot make the scalar spectral index exceed 0.9682, and n_s is maximized at α≈1.

  2. Harrison-Zeldovich attractor: From Planck to ACT results

    astro-ph.CO 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Nonminimal derivative coupling realizes the Harrison-Zeldovich attractor for monomial, hilltop, and α-attractor E-models, pulling them to the scale-invariant spectrum suggested by ACT data.

  3. Post-inflationary enhancement of adiabatic perturbations in modular cosmology

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In modular inflation models, entropic perturbations frozen during inflation are converted into curvature perturbations after inflation, producing an enhanced power spectrum while preserving the spectral index ns.

  4. Behaviour of $\alpha$-attractors in Warm Inflation

    astro-ph.CO 2025-06 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    In strongly dissipative warm inflation, T, E, and polynomial alpha-attractor models lose the cold-inflation attractor convergence in the n_s-r plane.
