Abstract

We present the impact of non-minimal coupling ξϕ2R\xi \phi^2 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 (vv) after the period of inflation in Palatini gravity. We discuss the well-known symmetry breaking type potentials, namely the Higgs potential and Coleman-Weinberg potential. We show the inflationary predictions of these potentials, for both ϕ>v\phi>v and ϕ<v\phi<v inflation, the regions in the vξv-\xi plane for which the values of nsn_s and rr are in agreement with the recent measurements. We also show the linear inflation behavior as a solution of Coleman-Weinberg potential for ξv2=1\xi v^2=1 limit. Finally, we take into account the inflationary predictions of Coleman-Weinberg potential for preferred ξ\xi values as a function of vv in Palatini formalism.
