The Starobinsky model is one of the inflation models consistent with the result of CMB observation by the Planck satellite. We consider the dynamics of the Starobinsky inflation in the presence of another scalar field with a large expectation value during inflation due to a negative Hubble-induced mass. We find that it would be affected if the other field has an amplitude close to the Planck scale. In this case, we may observe such effects on the Starobinsky model by future CMB experiments.

We present a novel realization of Starobinsky-type inflation within Supergravity using two chiral superfields. The proposed superpotential is inspired by induced-gravity models. The Kaehler potential contains two logarithmic terms, one for the inflat
on T and one for the matter-like field S, parameterizing the SU(1,1)/U(1)x SU(2)/U(1) Kaehler manifold. The two factors have constant curvatures -m/n and 2/n2, where n, m are the exponents of T in the superpotential and Kaehler potential respectively, and 0<n2<=6. The inflationary observables depend on the ratio 2n/m only. Essentially they coincide with the observables of the original Starobinsky model. Moreover, the inflaton mass is predicted to be 3x10^13 GeV.
In the Starobinsky model of inflation, the observed dark matter abundance can be produced from the direct decay of the inflaton field only in a very narrow spectrum of close-to-conformal scalar fields and spinors of mass $sim 10^7$ GeV. This spectrum
can be, however, significantly broadened in the presence of effective non-renormalizable interactions between the dark and the visible sectors. In particular, we show that UV freeze-in can efficiently generate the right dark matter abundance for a large range of masses spanning from the keV to the PeV scale and arbitrary spin, without significantly altering the heating dynamics. We also consider the contribution of effective interactions to the inflaton decay into dark matter.
We derive a general criterion that defines all single-field models leading to Starobinsky-like inflation and to universal predictions for the spectral index and tensor-to-scalar ratio, which are in agreement with Planck data. Out of all the theories
that satisfy this criterion, we single out a special class of models with the interesting property of retaining perturbative unitarity up to the Planck scale. These models are based on induced gravity, with the Planck mass determined by the vacuum expectation value of the inflaton.
The Starobinsky inflation model is one of the simplest inflation models that is consistent with the cosmic microwave background observations. In order to explain dark matter of the universe, we consider a minimal extension of the Starobinsky inflatio
n model with introducing the dark sector which communicates with the visible sector only via the gravitational interaction. In Starobinsky inflation model, a sizable amount of dark-sector particle may be produced by the inflaton decay. Thus, a scalar, a fermion or a vector boson in the dark sector may become dark matter. We pay particular attention to the case with dark non-Abelian gauge interaction to make a dark glueball a dark matter candidate. In the minimal setup, we show that it is difficult to explain the observed dark matter abundance without conflicting observational constraints on the coldness and the self-interaction of dark matter. We propose scenarios in which the dark glueball, as well as other dark-sector particles, from the inflaton decay become viable dark matter candidates. We also discuss possibilities to test such scenarios.
Higgs inflation and $R^2$-inflation (Starobinsky model) are two limits of the same quantum model, hereafter called Starobinsky-Higgs. We analyse the two-loop action of the Higgs-like scalar $phi$ in the presence of: 1) non-minimal coupling ($xi$) and
2) quadratic curvature terms. The latter are generated at the quantum level with $phi$-dependent couplings ($tildealpha$) even if their tree-level couplings ($alpha$) are tuned to zero. Therefore, the potential always depends on both Higgs field $phi$ and scalaron $rho$, hence multi-field inflation is a quantum consequence. The effects of the quantum (one- and two-loop) corrections on the potential $hat W(phi,rho)$ and on the spectral index are discussed, showing that the Starobinsky-Higgs model is in general stable in their presence. Two special cases are also considered: first, for a large $xi$ in the quantum action one can integrate $phi$ and generate a refined Starobinsky model which contains additional terms $xi^2 R^2ln^p (xi vert Rvert/mu^2)$, $p=1,2$ ($mu$ is the subtraction scale). These generate corrections linear in the scalaron to the usual Starobinsky potential and a running scalaron mass. Second, for a small fixed Higgs field $phi^2 ll M_p^2/xi$ and a vanishing classical coefficient of the $R^2$-term, we show that the usual Starobinsky inflation is generated by the quantum corrections alone, for a suitable non-minimal coupling ($xi$).
