We analyze a fully geometric approach to dark energy in the framework of $F(R,{\cal G})$ theories of gravity, where $R$ is the Ricci curvature scalar and ${\cal G}$ is the Gauss-Bonnet topological invariant. The latter invariant naturally…

Recent observations from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) indicate a moderate upward shift in the scalar spectral index $n_s$ compared to Planck $2018$, thereby placing tighter constraints on inflationary scenarios. Motivated by these…

We investigate a cosmological model inspired by hybrid inflation, where two scalar fields representing dark energy (DE) and dark matter (DM) interact through a coupling that is proportional to the DE scalar field $1/\phi$. The strength of…

Gauss--Bonnet inflation typically affects the dynamics over an extended portion of the trajectory, making it difficult to isolate a controlled imprint at CMB scales. We consider a trajectory-selective coupling \(\mu(\phi,X)\) that gates the…

Models of axion inflation are particularly interesting since they provide a natural justification for the flatness of the potential over a super-Planckian distance, namely the approximate shift-symmetry of the inflaton. In addition, most of…
