Non-canonical inflation coupled to matter
read the original abstract
We compute corrections to the inflationary potential due to conformally coupled non-relativistic matter. We find that under certain conditions of the matter coupling, inflation may be interrupted abruptly. We display this in the superconformal Starobinsky model, where matter is conformally coupled to the Einstein frame metric. These corrections may easily stop inflation provided that there is an initial density of non-relativistic matter. Since these additional heavy degrees of freedom generically occur in higher dimension theories, for example as Kaluza-Klein modes, this effect can arise in multiple scenarios.

Constraints on non-canonical chaotic inflation from ACT DR6 and BICEP/Keck data
MCMC fitting of joint P-ACT-LB-BK18 dataset constrains non-canonical parameter alpha to 8.8, 11.7, and 16.4 (1 sigma) for chaotic inflation potentials with n=1/3, 2/3, 1 respectively.
