In light of the latest results from ACT observations we review a class of potentials labeled as fractional attractors, that can originate from Palatini gravity. We show that, for certain choices of the scalar potential $V(\phi)$, the fractional attractors predict both a spectral index $n_s$ and a tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ that fall within the $1\sigma$ region of the combined ACT+Planck data for a wide range of parameters. We also provide a numerical fit for the parameter space of this models in the case of a simple quadratic and quartic fractional potential.

  8. 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.
