Multiple point criticality principle and Coleman-Weinberg inflation
Antonio Racioppi, Jürgen Rajasalu, Kaspar Selke
Abstract
A bstract We apply the multiple point criticality principle to inflationary model building and study Coleman-Weinberg inflation when the scalar potential is quadratic in the logarithmic correction. We analyze also the impact of a non-minimal coupling to gravity under two possible gravity formulation: metric or Palatini. We compare the eventual compatibility of the results with the final data release of the Planck mission.
