Description
Starobinsky inflation is an attractive, fundamental model to
explain the Planck measurements, and its higher-order extension may
allow us to probe quantum gravity effects. We show that future CMB
data combined with the 21cm intensity map from SKA will meaningfully
probe such an extended Starobinsky model. A combined analysis will
provide a precise measurement and intriguing insight into
inflationary dynamics, even accounting for correlations with
astrophysical parameters.
