Inflation and flat directions in modular invariant superstring effective theories ∗
The potential during inflation must be very flat in, at least, the direction of the inflaton. In renormalizable global supersymmetry, flat directions are ubiquitous, but they are not preserved in a generic supergravity theory. It is known that at least some of them are preserved in no-scale supergravity, and simple generalizations of it. We here study a more realistic generalization, based on s...
متن کاملDilatonic Inflation and SUSY Breaking in Modular-Invariant Supergravity∗
The theory of inflation will be investigated as well as supersymmetry breaking in the context of supergravity, incorporating the target-space duality and the nonperturbative gaugino condensation in the hidden sector. The inflation and supersymmetry breaking occur at once by the interplay between the dilaton field as inflaton and the condensate gauge-singlet field. The model satisfies the slow-r...
متن کاملHybrid Inflation Followed by Modular Inflation
Inflationary models with a superheavy scale F-term hybrid inflation followed by an intermediate scale modular inflation are considered. The restrictions on the power spectrum PR of curvature perturbation and the spectral index ns from the recent data within the power-law cosmological model with cold dark matter and a cosmological constant can be met provided that the number of e-foldings NHI∗ s...
متن کاملPreheating After Modular Inflation
We study (p)reheating in modular (closed string) inflationary scenarios, with a special emphasis on Kähler moduli/Roulette models. It is usually assumed that reheating in such models occurs through perturbative decays. However, we find that there are very strong non-perturbative preheating decay channels related to the particular shape of the inflaton potential (which is highly nonlinear and ha...
متن کاملR-Invariant Topological Inflation
We propose a topological inflation model in the framework of supergravity with R invariance. This topological inflation model is not only free from the initial value problem of the inflaton field but also gives low reheating temperature which is favored in supergravity since the overproduction of gravitinos is avoided. Furthermore, the predicted spectrum of the density fluctuations is generally...
