Non-minimal (self-)running inflation: metric vs. Palatini formulation

Understand

We consider a model of quartic inflation where the inflaton is coupled non-minimally to gravity and the self-induced radiative corrections to its effective potential are dominant.

• We perform a comparative analysis considering two different formulations of gravity, metric or Palatini, and two different choices for the renormalization scale, widely known as prescription I and II.
• Moreover we comment on the eventual compatibility of the results with the final data release of the Planck mission.
