Generalized Pole Inflation: Hilltop, Natural, and Chaotic Inflationary
  Attractors
  A reformulation of inflationary model analyses appeared recently, in which
inflationary observables are determined by the structure of a pole in the
inflaton kinetic term rather than the shape of the inflaton potential. We
comprehensively study this framework with an arbitrary order of the pole taking
into account possible additional poles in the kinetic term or in the potential.
Depending on the setup, the canonical potential becomes the form of hilltop or
plateau models, variants of natural inflation, power-law inflation, or
monomial/polynomial chaotic inflation. We demonstrate attractor behaviors of
these models and compute corrections from the additional poles to the
inflationary observables.
