Nonminimal GUT inflation after Planck results

Abstract

In the present work we study GUT Coleman-Weinberg inflation with a nonminimal coupling to gravity. In this kind of model one usually finds that either the nonminimal coupling is large or the inflaton self-coupling in unnaturally small. We have shown here that the model is in agreement with the recent results from Planck for natural values of the couplings.
