We analyze a generalized framework of smooth F-term hybrid inflation (smFHI) consistent with gauge coupling unification within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The embedding of the model in two specific Supergravity settings addresses at the same time the $\eta$ problem and the compatibility with the recent ACT or SPT data. The one relies on the choice of a shift-symmetric K\"ahler potential for the inflaton which revitalizes the SUSY predictions of smFHI, whereas the other employs a K\"ahler potential associated with an hyperbolic K\"ahler manifold. An essential role in both our constructions is played by a decoupled superheavy field without superpotential and Kaehler potential inspired by string- and D-brane--based models. Our proposal can be realized for a variety of representations for the Higgs fields involved in smFHI and assures monotonic inflationary potential.

  1. Gravitational waves from self-resonance during reheating with a quantum-corrected inflaton potential

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A Coleman-Weinberg correction that cancels the inflaton's quadratic term at the potential minimum triggers quartic self-resonance and a peaked GW background at 10^8-10^10 Hz; a negative quadratic term instead gives a ...

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    EDE models increase inferred α_s from CMB data, strengthening tension with USR PBH models that predict negative running.

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0

    A Palatini-supergravity Higgs-inflation model with induced gravity predicts a scalar spectral index ns≈0.972-0.974, consistent with ACT DR6, and favors split supersymmetry with gravitino mass 40-60 PeV.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0

    A shifted-hybrid non-minimal Higgs inflation model deforms the Starobinsky attractor via a leading non-renormalizable superpotential operator to raise ns into the ACT-preferred range while keeping r ~ 10^{-3}-10^{-2}.
