To explain the accelerated expansion of late universe, the 1/R correction to Einstein gravity is usually considered, where R is the Ricci scalar. This correction term is generally believed to be negligible in the early universe. However, if…

We study the preheating after inflation in the Starobinsky model with a nonminimally coupled scalar field $\chi$. Using the lattice simulation, we analyze the rescattering between the $\chi$ particles and the inflaton condensate, and the…

Theories with elementary scalar degrees of freedom seem nowadays required for simple descriptions of the Standard Model and of the Early Universe. It is then natural to embed theories of inflation in supergravity, also in view of their…

Starobinsky's $R+\alpha R^2$ inflation provides a compelling one-parameter inflationary model that is supported by current cosmological observations. However, at the same order in spacetime derivatives as the $R^2$ term, an effective theory…

In this work, we perform a numerical study of three Starobinsky--type inflationary scenarios: the $\alpha$--Starobinsky inflationary model, the power--law Starobinsky inflationary model, and the power--law $\alpha$--Starobinsky inflationary…

A supergravity extension of the $(R+R^2)$ gravity with the additional (Born-Infeld) structure of a massive vector multiplet gives rise to the specific $F(R)$ gravity, whose structure is investigated in detail. The massive vector multiplet…

We consider N=2 supergravity theories that have the same spectrum as the R+R^2 supergravity, as predicted from the off-shell counting of degrees of freedom. These theories describe standard N=2 supergravity coupled to one or two long…

We investigate an ability of the exponential power-law inflation to be phenomenologically correct model of the early universe. GR scalar cosmology equations we study in Ivanov-Salopek-Bond (or Hamilton-Jacobi like) representation where the…

We analyze radiative corrections to the Starobinsky model of inflation arising from self-interactions of the inflaton, and from its Yukawa couplings, $y$, to matter fermions, and dimensionful trilinear couplings, $\kappa$, to scalar fields,…

This paper focuses on the Starobinsky model of inflation. We derive solutions for various cosmological observables, such as the scalar spectral index $n_s$, the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ and their runnings, as well as the number of…

Recently we identified a new class of (super)conformally invariant theories which allow inflation even if the scalar potential is very steep in terms of the original conformal variables. Observational predictions of a broad class of such…
