We present complete constraints imposed from observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) on the chaotic inflationary scenario with a nonminimally coupled inflaton field proposed by Fakir and Unruh (FU). Our constraints are complete in the sense that we investigate both the scalar density perturbation and the tensor gravitational wave in the Jordan frame, as well as in the Einstein frame. This makes the constraints extremely strong without any ambiguities due to the choice of frames. We find that the FU scenario generates tiny tensor contributions to the CMBR relative to chaotic models in minimal coupling theory, in spite of its spectral index of scalar perturbation being slightly tilted. This means that the FU scenario will be excluded if any tensor contributions to CMBR are detected by the forthcoming satellite missions. Conversely, if no tensor nature is detected despite the tilted spectrum, a minimal chaotic scenario will be hard to explain and the FU scenario will be supported.

  1. Implication of preheating on gravity assisted baryogenesis in $R^2$-Higgs inflation

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Preheating in R2-Higgs inflation sets the reheating temperature, and matching the observed baryon asymmetry fixes the baryogenesis scale to about 2.1 to 2.8 x 10^-5 M_Planck for xi_H between 1 and 10.

  2. Gravitational scalar production with a generic reheating scenario

    hep-ph 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Gravitational scalar production yields reheating-dependent constraints on dark matter scalars, with dilution preserving viability for k<4 low-temperature reheating and factorization in multi-stage cases.

  3. Low-reheating scenario in dark Higgs inflation and its impact on dark photon dark matter production

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A dark U(1)_D model with dark Higgs inflation and low reheating allows dark photon dark matter to achieve the observed relic density for a wider range of couplings, with inflation predictions matching Planck, BICEP/Ke...

  4. Noncanonical Approaches To Inflation

    gr-qc 2019-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    A review thesis covering Mukhanov parametrization, general scalar-tensor theories, and new slow-roll techniques for canonical and noncanonical inflation observables.
