The Planck value of the spectral index can be interpreted as $n_s = 1 - 2/N$ in terms of the number of e-foldings $N$. An appealing explanation for this phenomenological observation is provided by $\alpha$-attractors: the inflationary predictions of these supergravity models are fully determined by the curvature of the Kahler manifold. We provide a novel formulation of $\alpha$-attractors which only involves a single chiral superfield. Our construction involves a natural deformation of no-scale models, and employs these to construct a De Sitter plateau with an exponential fall-off. Finally, we show how analogous structures with a flat Kahler geometry arise as a singular limit of such $\alpha$-scale models.

  1. Controlled Penumbral Inflation from Monodromic Valleys

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Local branch data determine controlled inflation in monodromic penumbral valleys when Δ > 0 and p < 2 (or p=2 with large A_pm), with a minimal exactly solvable family provided.

  2. Quintessential $\alpha$-attractors fit DESI

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    α-attractor quintessence models approximate axion-like potentials and fit DESI dynamical dark energy data, preferring α of order 1 via a simple fa-α relation.

  3. Controlled Penumbral Inflation from Monodromic Valleys

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Derives conditions on branch parameters for controlled inflationary plateaus in penumbral monodromic valleys, with an exactly solvable family targeting r ~ 10^{-3} and alpha_s ~ -r/2.

  4. Minimal Extensions of the $\alpha$-Starobinsky Model: Reconciling ACT DR6 and Reheating Constraints

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Two minimal single-parameter extensions of the α-Starobinsky model shift ns into the 1σ ACT DR6 region while keeping r < 0.038 and yielding T_re ~ 10^9 GeV for N_k in [50,65].
