\hypertarget{Idea}{}\subsection*{{Idea}}\label{Idea} In [[phenomenology]] of [[cosmology]], the \emph{Starobinsky model} of [[cosmic inflation]] takes into account -- and takes as the very source of the [[inflaton]] field -- [[higher curvature corrections]] to the [[Einstein-Hilbert action]] of [[gravity]], notably the term $R^2$ (square of the [[Ricci curvature]]). The Starobinsky model stands out among models of inflation as predicting a low value of the scalar-to-tensor ratio $r$, specifically it predicts \begin{displaymath} r \sim \frac{12}{N^2} \end{displaymath} where $N$ is the number of $e$-foldings during inflation (see e.g. \hyperlink{KehagiasDizgahRiotto13}{Kehagias-Dizgah-Riotto 13 (2.6)}). Models of this type are favored by [[experiment|experimental]] results (\hyperlink{PlanckCollaboration13}{PlanckCollaboration 13}, \hyperlink{BICEPKeckPlanck15}{BICEP2-Keck-Planck 15}, \hyperlink{PlanckCollaboration15}{PlanckCollaboration 15}) which give a low upper bound on $r$ around $0.1$ (whereas other models like [[chaotic inflation]] are disfavored by these values), see (\hyperlink{PlanckCollaboration13}{PlanckCollaboration 13, page 12}). With respect to this data, the Starobinsky model (or ``$R^2$ inflation'') is the model with the highest [[Bayesian reasoning|Bayesian evidence]] (\hyperlink{Rachen15}{Rachen, Feb 15}, \hyperlink{PlanckCollaboration15XX}{PlanckCollaboration 15XX, table 6 on p. 18}) as it is right in the center of the likelihood peak (\hyperlink{PlanckCollaboration13}{PlanckCollaboration 13, figure 1}, also \hyperlink{Linde14}{Linde 14, figure 5}) and at the same time has the lowest number of free parameters : This remains true with the data of (\hyperlink{PlanckCollaboration15}{PlanckCollaboration 15}), see (\hyperlink{PlanckCollaboration15XIII}{PlanckCollaboration 15 XIII, figure 22}) and in the final analysis (\hyperlink{PlanckCollaboration18X}{PlanckCollaboration 18X, Fig 8}), which gives the following (from \href{http://resonaances.blogspot.se/2015/02/weekend-plot-inflation15.html}{here}): \begin{quote}% $R^2$ inflation has the strongest evidence among the models considered here. However, care must be taken not to overinterpret small differences in likelihood lacking statistical significance. The models closest to $R^2$ in terms of evidence are brane inflation and exponential inflation, which have one more parameter than $R^2$ (\hyperlink{PlanckCollaboration15XX}{PlanckCollaboration 15XX, p. 18}) \end{quote} See (\hyperlink{Ellis13}{Ellis 13}, \hyperlink{Ketov13}{Ketov 13}, \hyperlink{Efstathiou2019}{Efstathiou 2019, 50:49}) for brief survey and see (\hyperlink{KehagiasDizgahRiotto13}{Kehagias-Dizgah-Riotto 13}) for more details. There it is argued that the other types of models which also fit the data are actually equivalent to the Starobinsky model during inflation. \hypertarget{EmbeddingIntoSupergravity}{}\subsection*{{Embedding into supergravity}}\label{EmbeddingIntoSupergravity} Being concerned with pure [[gravity]] (the [[inflaton]] not being an extra [[matter]] field but part of the field of [[gravity]]) the Starobinsky model lends itself to embedding into [[supergravity]] (originally due to \hyperlink{Ceotti87}{Ceotti 87}, see e.g. \hyperlink{FKR13}{Farakos-Kehagias-Riotto 13}). Such embedding has been argued to improve the model further (highlighted e.g. in \hyperlink{Ellis13}{Ellis 13}), for instance by \begin{itemize}% \item shrinking the necessary initial homogeneous patch from $\sim 10^3$ [[Planck lengths]] (which would be in need of further explanation) down to just $\sim 10^1$ [[Planck lengths]] (\hyperlink{DalianisFarakos15}{Dalianis-Farakos 15 equations (68), (72) in v1, equations (4.11), (4.17) in v3}, reviewed in \hyperlink{Dalianis16}{Dalianis 16}); \item naturally subsuming a mechanism for [[supersymmetry breaking]] (\hyperlink{FerrarKehagias14}{Ferrar-Kehagias 14}, \hyperlink{DFKRU14}{DFKRU 14}) notably with a Starobisnky potential naturally induced from [[gravitino condensation]] (\hyperlink{AlexandreHoustonMavromatos14}{Alexandre-Houston-Mavromatos 14}). \end{itemize} \begin{quote}% graphics grabbed from \hyperlink{Dalianis16}{Dalianis 16, p. 8} \end{quote} More concretely, in \hyperlink{HiragaHyakutake18}{Hiraga-Hyakutake 18} a simple model of [[11-dimensional supergravity]] with its $R^4$ [[higher curvature correction]] (see \href{11-dimensional+supergravity#HigherCurvatureCorrection}{there}) is considered and claimed to yield inflation with ``graceful exit'' and dynamical [[KK-compactification]]: \begin{quote}% graphics from \hyperlink{HiragaHyakutake18}{Hiraga-Hyakutake 18, p. 8} \end{quote} \hypertarget{references}{}\subsection*{{References}}\label{references} \hypertarget{general}{}\subsubsection*{{General}}\label{general} The model is due to \begin{itemize}% \item [[Aleksei Starobinsky]], \emph{A new type of isotropic cosmological models without singularity}, Phys.
