Moduli Corrections to D-term Inflation
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a D-term hybrid inflation model, embedded in supergravity with moduli stabilisation. Its novel features allow us to overcome the serious challenges of combining D-term inflation and moduli fields within the same string-motivated theory. One salient point of the model is the positive definite uplifting D-term arising from the moduli stabilisation sector. By coupling thisD-term to the inflationary sector, we generate an effective Fayet-Iliopoulos term. Moduli corrections to the inflationary dynamics are also obtained. Successful inflation is achieved for a limited range of parameter values with spectral index compatible with the WMAP3 data. Cosmic Dterm strings are also formed at the end of inflation; these are no longer Bogomol’nyiPrasad-Sommerfeld (BPS) objects. The properties of the strings are studied.

An Inflaton Mass Problem in String Inflation from Threshold Corrections to Volume Stabilization
Inflationary models whose vacuum energy arises from a D-term are believed not to suffer from the supergravity eta problem of F-term inflation. That is, D-term models have the desirable property that the inflaton mass can naturally remain much smaller than the Hubble scale. We observe that this advantage is lost in models based on string compactifications whose volume is stabilized by a nonpertu...
متن کاملDilaton and Moduli Fields in D-term inflation
We investigate the possibility of D-term inflation within the framework of type I string-inspired models. Although D-term inflation model has the excellent property that it is free from the so-called ηproblem, two serious problems appear when we embed D-term inflation in string theory, the magnitude of FI term and the rolling motion of the dilation. In the present paper, we analyze the potentia...
متن کاملAn Effect of α′ Corrections on Racetrack Inflation
We study the effects of α corrections to the Kähler potential on volume stabilisation and racetrack inflation. In a region where classical supergravity analysis is justified, quantum corrections can nevertheless be relevant for correctly analyzing moduli stabilisation and the onset of inflation.
متن کاملSuccessful D-term Inflation with moduli
We examine a natural extension of D-term inflation and construct a successful model. General type of the D-term potential is shown to produce successful inflation with appropriate COBE normalization. The effect of the dilaton shift at the inflation period is taken into account. [email protected]
متن کاملSuccessfully combining SUGRA hybrid inflation and moduli stabilisation
Inflation and moduli stabilisation mechanisms work well independently, and many string-motivated supergravity models have been proposed for them. However a complete theory will contain both, and there will be (gravitational) interactions between the two sectors. These give corrections to the inflaton potential, which generically ruin inflation. This holds true even for fine-tuned moduli stabili...
