Observable gravitational waves from hyperkination in Palatini gravity and beyond

Abstract We consider cosmology with an inflaton scalar field with an additional quartic kinetic term. Such a theory can be motivated by Palatini $$R+R^2$$ R + R 2 modified gravity. Assuming a runaway inflaton potential, we take the Universe to become dominated by the kinetic energy density of the sc...
