The simplest α-attractor T model is given by the potential V = V0 tanh (λφ/Mpl). However its generalization to the class of models of the type V = V0 tanh (λφ/Mpl) is difficult to interpret as a model of inflation for most values of p. Keeping the basic model, we propose a new generalization, where the final potential is of the form V = V0(1 − sech(λφ/Mpl)), which does not present any of the problems that plague the original generalization, allowing a successful interpretation as a model of…

Constraining $\alpha$-attractor models from reheating
This work eliminates the parameters originally present in models of inflation of the α-attractor type and finds that the tensor-to-scalar ratio r (and as a consequence the energy scale of inflation) is bounded from below.
A Natural Inflation inspired model
We propose a modiﬁcation of the Natural Inﬂation (NI) potential in such a way that the spontaneous symmetry breaking scale f can take values less than one (in Planck units). The proposed potential

The aim of this Letter is to elucidate the common denominator of these attractors: their robust predictions stem from a joint pole of order 2 in the kinetic term of the inflaton field in the Einstein frame formulation prior to switching to the canonical variables.
