ABSTRACT:
We construct a PS model of inflation consistent with the latest Bicep2-Keck-Planck data with a tensor-to-scalar ratio r of order 0.08 and Hubble parameter during inflation set by the PS (GUT) symmetry breaking scale. The inflationary model is augmented with a three family model of quarks and leptons with a Z_4^R symmetry.
