Testing α-attractor quintessential inflation against CMB and low-redshift data
arxiv(2024)
摘要
Due to universality and attractor properties, α-attractor
quintessential inflation establishes direct relations between inflationary
observables such as the scalar tilt n_s and the tensor-to-scalar ratio r,
and late-time dark energy equation of state parameters w_0 and w_a. In this
work, we examine three different physically motivated regimes, considering
complete freedom in the parameter α, models inspired by supergravity
where α takes on values up to α=7/3, and Starobinsky inflation
(α=1). We investigate the consistency and constraints imposed by Cosmic
Microwave Background measurements from the Planck satellite, B-mode
polarization data from the BICEP/Keck collaboration, and low-redshift
observations. Additionally, we consider small-scale CMB measurements released
by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope, which give results approaching the
Harrison-Zel'dovich spectrum (n_s ≈ 1). Here α-attractors lead
to an improved fit over ΛCDM. For the large-scale CMB measurements,
α≳2 models can provide equally good fits as ΛCDM.
