Broken scale invariance, $$\alpha $$ α -attractors and vector impurity

Abstract We show that if the $$\alpha $$ α -attractor model is realized by the spontaneous breaking of the scale symmetry, then the stability and the dynamics of the vector field that gauges the scale symmetry can severely constrain the $$\alpha $$ α -parameter as $$5/6< \alpha < 1$$ 5 / 6 <...
