Abstract
In light of the latest results from ACT observations we review a class of potentials labeled as fractional attractors, that can originate from Palatini gravity. We show that, for certain choices of the scalar potential , the fractional attractors predict both a spectral index and a tensor-to-scalar ratio that fall within the region of the combined ACT+Planck data for a wide range of parameters. We also provide a numerical fit for the parameter space of this models in the case of a simple quadratic and quartic fractional potential.
