A novel pre-inflationary model in view of the lack of angular correlation of CMB

In this paper we propose a novel unified cosmological model that connects a pre-inflationary epoch, starting at the Planckian time, with the onset of inflation within a single scalar-field framework. The pre-inflationary phase is characterized by a decelerated expansion with an increasing comoving Hubble horizon, followed by a gradually transition to an accelerated inflationary regime. This early dynamics leads to a modified causal structure that naturally accounts for the suppression of large-angle $(θ\gtrsim 60^\circ)$ correlations in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) reported by the satellite PLANCK. We study the quantum fluctuations of the scalar field using the Mukhanov-Sasaki formalism and a canonical quantization procedure based on energy minimization. We find that the vacuum state is well-defined only for sub-horizon modes at the onset of inflation, which induces a natural cutoff in the primordial power spectrum. The resulting spectrum exhibits a suppression at large scales while remaining nearly scale-invariant at small scales. In the appropriate limit, the model recovers the standard de Sitter result, in agreement with current observational constraints. These results highlight the relevance of pre-inflationary dynamics for addressing large-scale anomalies within a consistent inflationary framework.

Power law coupling Higgs-Palatini inflation with a congruence between physical and geometrical symmetries

In this paper we investigate a power law coupling Higgs inflationary model in which the background geometry is determined by the Palatini's variational principle. The geometrical symmetries of the background geometry determine the invariant form of the action of the model and the background geometry resulted is of the Weyl-integrable type. The invariant action results also invariant under the $U(1)$ group, which in general is not compatible with the Weyl group of invariance of the background geometry. However, we found compatibility conditions between the geometrical and physical symmetries of the action in the strong coupling limit. We found that if we start with a non-minimally coupled to gravity action, when we impose the congruence between the both groups of symmetries we end with an invariant action of the scalar-tensor type. We obtain a nearly scale invariant power spectrum for the inflaton fluctuations for certain values of some parameters of the model. Also we obtain va\-lues for the tensor to scalar ratio in agreement with PLANCK and BICEP observational data: $r<0.032$.
