We show explicitly how the T-model, E-model, and Hilltop inflations are obtained from the inflation models with a non-canonical kinetic term and an arbitrary potential. By this method, any attractor of observables $n_s$ and $r$ is possible. The presence of attractors poses a challenge to differentiate inflation models.

With the enhancement mechanism provided by a noncanonical kinetic term with a peak, the amplitude of primordial curvature perturbations can be enhanced by seven orders of magnitude at small scales while keeping to be consistent with observations at l
arge scales. The peak function and inflationary potential are not restricted in this mechanism. We use the Higgs model and T-model as examples to show how abundant primordial black hole dark matter with different mass and scalar induced secondary gravitational waves with different peak frequency are generated. We also show that the enhanced power spectrum for the primordial curvature perturbations and the energy density of the scalar induced secondary gravitational waves can have either a sharp peak or a broad peak. The primordial black holes with the mass around $10^{-14}-10^{-12} M_{odot}$ produced with the enhancement mechanism can make up almost all dark matter, and the scalar induced secondary gravitational waves accompanied with the production of primordial black holes can be tested by the pulsar timing arrays and spaced based gravitational wave observatory. Therefore, the mechanism can be tested by primordial black hole dark matter and gravitational wave observations.
We generalize quintom to include the tachyonic kinetic term along with the classical one. For such a model we obtain the expressions for energy density and pressure. For the spatially flat, homogeneous and isotropic Universe with Friedmann-Robertson-
Walker metric of 4-space we derive the equations of motion for the fields. We discuss in detail the reconstruction of the scalar fields potential $U(phi,xi)$. Such a reconstruction cannot be done unambiguously, so we consider 3 simplest forms of $U(phi,xi)$: the product of $Phi(phi)$ and $Xi(xi)$, the sum of $Phi(phi)$ and $Xi(xi)$ and this sum to the $kappa$th power.
In this work we shall study the implications of a subclass of $E$-models cosmological attractors, namely of $a$-attractors, on hydrodynamically stable slowly rotating neutron stars. Specifically, we shall present the Jordan frame theory of the $a$-at
tractors, and by using a conformal transformation we shall derive the Einstein frame theory. We discuss the inflationary context of $a$-attractors in order to specify the allowed range of values for the free parameters of the model based on the latest cosmic-microwave-background-based Planck 2018 data. Accordingly, using the notation and physical units frequently used in theoretical astrophysics contexts, we shall derive the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations in the Einstein frame. Assuming a piecewise polytropic equation of state, the lowest density part of which shall be chosen to be the WFF1, or APR or the SLy EoS, we numerically solve the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations using a double shooting python-based LSODA numerical code. The resulting picture depends on the value of the parameter $a$ characterizing the $a$-attractors. As we show, for large values of $a$, which do not produce a viable inflationary era, the $M-R$ graphs are nearly identical to the general relativistic result, and these two are discriminated at large central densities values. Also, for large $a$-values, the WFF1 equation of state is excluded, due to the GW170817 constraints. In addition, the small $a$ cases produce larger masses and radii compared to the general relativistic case and are compatible with the GW170817 constraints on the radii of neutron stars. Our results indicate deep and not yet completely understood connections between non-minimal inflationary attractors and neutron stars phenomenology in scalar-tensor theory.
We study the intermediate inflation in a non-canonical scalar field framework with a power-like Lagrangian. We show that in contrast with the standard canonical intermediate inflation, our non-canonical model is compatible with the observational resu
lts of Planck 2015. Also, we estimate the equilateral non-Gaussianity parameter which is in well agreement with the prediction of Planck 2015. Then, we obtain an approximation for the energy scale at the initial time of inflation and show that it can be of order of the Planck energy scale, i.e. ${M_P} sim {10^{18}},{rm{GeV}}$. We will see that after a short period of time, inflation enters in the slow-roll regime that its energy scale is of order ${M_P}/100 sim ;{10^{16}}{rm{GeV}}$ and the horizon exit takes place in this energy scale. We also examine an idea in our non-canonical model to overcome the central drawback of intermediate inflation which is the fact that inflation never ends. We solve this problem without disturbing significantly the nature of the intermediate inflation until the time of horizon exit.
We consider the late time one-loop quantum backreaction from inflationary fluctuations of a non-minimally coupled, massless scalar field. The scalar is assumed to be a spectator field in an inflationary model with a constant principal slow roll $epsi
lon$ parameter. We regulate the infrared by matching onto a pre-inflationary radiation era. We find a large late time backreaction when the nonminimal coupling $xi$ is negative (in which case the scalar exhibits a negative mass term during inflation). The one-loop quantum backreaction becomes significant today for moderately small non-minimal couplings, $xisim -1/20$, and it changes sign (from negative to positive) at a recent epoch when inflation lasts not much longer than what is minimally required, $N gtrsim 66$. Since currently we do not have a way of treating the classical fluid and the quantum backreaction in a self-consistent manner, we cannot say decidely whether the backreaction from inflationary quantum fluctuations of a non-minimally coupled scalar can mimic dark energy.
