Models of inflation, supersymmetry breaking and observational constraints
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the connection between inflationary models and observations and concentrate to describe models based on softly broken supersymmetry, in particular running mass models, and their predictions. We then present a fit of the spectral index of the curvature perturbation, assuming a flat ΛCDM cosmology.

Cosmological Constraints on Perturbative Supersymmetry Breaking
We discuss the cosmology of string models with perturbative supersymmetry breaking at a scale of O(TeV). Such models exhibit Kaluza-Klein like spectra and contain unstable massive gravitinos/gravitons. We find that considerations of primordial nucleosynthesis constrain the maximum temperature following inflation to be not much larger than the supersymmetry breaking scale. This imposes conflicti...
متن کاملGravitino problem in supergravity chaotic inflation and SUSY breaking scale after BICEP2
Article history: Received 24 April 2014 Accepted 26 May 2014 Available online 2 June 2014 Editor: J. Hisano Gravitinos are generically produced by inflaton decays, which place tight constraints on inflation models as well as supersymmetry breaking scale. We revisit the gravitino production from decays of the inflaton and the supersymmetry breaking field, based on a chaotic inflation model sugge...
متن کاملThe Soft Supersymmetry-Breaking Lagrangian: Theory and Applications
After an introduction recalling the theoretical motivation for low energy (100 GeV to TeV scale) supersymmetry, this review describes the theory and experimental implications of the soft supersymmetry-breaking Lagrangian of the general minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). Extensions to include neutrino masses and nonminimal theories are also discussed. Topics covered include models of ...
متن کاملSupersymmetry-Breaking Models of Inflation
We consider dynamical models of supersymmetry breaking which naturally incorporate cosmological inflation. The inflaton plays an inevitable role in dynamical SUSY breaking and the hierarchical scales of inflation and SUSY breaking are simultaneously realized through a single dynamics.
متن کاملObservational constraints on an inflation model with a running mass
We explore a model of inflation where the inflaton mass-squared is generated at a high scale by gravity-mediated soft supersymmetry breaking, and runs at lower scales to the small value required for slow-roll inflation. The running is supposed to come from the coupling of the inflaton to a non-Abelian gauge field. In contrast with earlier work, we do not constrain the magnitude of the supersymm...
