Recent results on inflation and present dark energy

A brief review of papers published and submitted since the Khalatnikov-100 conference in October 2019 is presented. These papers can be divided into two groups: those on the investigation of dark energy in the present universe [1-5] and those on inflation and possible anisotropic stages preceding it [6-12]. In the former papers either some given fundamental models of present dark energy alternative to an exact cosmological constant are compared with the most recent observational data, or the reconstruction technique is used to obtain properties of dark energy directly from the observational data. In the latter papers different extensions of the simplest one–parametric inflationary models (the R+R^2 (Starobinsky) or Higgs ones) are investigated in order to test some local and non-local modifications of general relativity and to obtain new observable effects including local features in the power spectra of perturbations, primordial black holes and second-order primordial gravitational waves having a maximum at short scales.
