Natural Inflation with non-minimal coupling NMC to gravity (ξφ 2 ) is investigated in the context of an extended gravity of the form R + αR 2 . The treatment is performed in the Palatini formalism.We discuss various limitations of the model "α 1 and α 1" in light of two scenarios of inflation: a "Slow roll" and a "Constant roll".By analyzing the observational consequences of the model, our results show a significant improvement regarding compatibility between the theoretical results of this model and the experimental ones from Planck 2018, as exemplified by the tensor-to-scalar ratio and spectral index. Furthermore, a broader range of parameter space for natural inflation is now compatible with the confidence contours of Planck results. The notable effect of both NMC and αR 2 's contributions makes it a significant improvement. αR 2 gravity influences scalar-tensor ratio values. In contrast, NMC has a more significant impact on the spectral index values. Contributions to this area allow more excluded intervals to be included and are compatible with observational data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
