In this work we consider a generalization of Starobinsky inflation obtained by combining power law ($R^\beta$), and $\alpha$-Starobinsky inflation ($E$-model). The Einstein frame potential for this model is that of power law Starobinsky…
In this work we revisit $\alpha$-Starobinsky inflation, also know as $E$-model, in the light of current CMB and LSS observations. The inflaton potential in the Einstein frame for this model contains a parameter $\alpha$ in the exponential,…
In this work we study numerically one kind of generalization of the Starobinsky inflationary model (power-law type), which is characterized by the parameter $p$. In order to find the parameter $p$ that fixes with observations, we compute…

In this work, we studied the slow-roll approximation of cosmic inflation within the context of $f(R,T)$ gravity, where $R$ is the scalar curvature, and $T$ is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. By choosing a minimal coupling between…
In this work we revisit power law, $\frac{1}{M^2}R^\beta$, inflation to find the deviations from $R^2$ inflation allowed by current CMB and LSS observations. We compute the power spectra for scalar and tensor perturbations numerically and…
Potential slow-roll parameters are widely used in inflationary cosmology to estimate the scalar and tensor perturbation amplitudes and the scalar spectral index, although the inflationary observables are fundamentally expressed in terms of…
We consider the Starobinsky inflation with a set of higher order corrections parametrised by two real coefficients $\lambda_1, \lambda_2$. In the Einstein frame we have found a potential with the Starobinsky plateau, steep slope and…

An extension of the Starobinsky model is proposed. Besides the usual Starobinsky Lagrangian, a term proportional to the derivative of the scalar curvature, $\nabla_{\mu}R\nabla^{\mu}R$, is considered. The analyzis is done in the Einstein…
We consider an extension of the Starobinsky model, whose parameters are functions of an extra scalar field. Our motivation is to test the robustness (or sensitivity) of the Starobinsky inflation against mixing scalaron with another (matter)…

A self-consistent pre-inflationary extension of the inflationary scenario with the Starobinsky potential, favored by Planck data, is studied using techniques from loop quantum cosmology (LQC). The results are compared with the quadratic…
The most current observational data corroborate the Starobinsky model as one of the strongest candidates in the description of an inflationary regime. Motivated by such success, extensions of the Starobinsky model have been increasingly…
