Description

We present the impact of non-minimal coupling ξϕ2 R on the inflationary parameters by taking into account the models of single-field inflation with the inflaton that has a non-zero vacuum expectation value (v) after the period of inflation in Palatini gravity. We discuss the well-known symmetry-breaking type potentials, namely the double-well potential and Coleman-Weinberg potential. We show that the inflationary predictions, n s and r, of these potentials for both ϕ > v and ϕ < v inflation are compatible with the recent measurements within the regions of the v-ξ plane. Finally, we take into account the inflationary predictions of Coleman-Weinberg potential for selected ξ values as a function of v in the Palatini formalism. (paper)
