| contents | In the era of Planck cosmology, the inflationary paradigm is best fitted toward the cosmological attractor scenarios, including the induced inflation, universal attractors, conformal attractors, and special attractors that are cataloged as $ξ$-models and $α$-models. The recent hint from the ACT results pushes the scalar spectral index closer to the scale-invariant Harrison-Zeldovich spectrum, calling for a theoretical paradigm shift toward a Harrison-Zeldovich attractor, which is difficult to realize in the standard single-field slow-roll inflationary scenario. In this work, we achieve the Harrison-Zeldovich attractor scenario via nonminimal derivative coupling, attracting the monomial inflation, hilltop inflation, and $α$-attractor E-model toward the Harrison-Zeldovich spectrum. |
