Realizations of Hybrid Inflation in Supergravity with natural initial conditions
We present viable F-term realizations of the hybrid inflationary scenario in the context of supergravity addressing at the same time the well-known problems of the initial conditions and of the adequate suppression of the inflaton mass. An essential role in our construction is played by “decoupled” superheavy fields without superpotential acquiring large vevs due to D-terms associated with “ano...
متن کاملEvading the Lyth bound in hybrid natural inflation
Generically, the gravitational-wave or tensor-mode contribution to the primordial curvature spectrum of inflation is tiny if the field range of the inflaton is much smaller than the Planck scale. We show that this pessimistic conclusion is naturally avoided in a rather broad class of small-field models. More specifically, we consider models where an axionlike shift symmetry keeps the inflaton p...
متن کاملHybrid natural inflation from non Abelian discrete symmetry
A spontaneously broken global discrete symmetry may have pseudo Goldstone modes associated with the spontaneous breaking of the approximate continuous symmetry of the low dimension terms in the Lagrangian. These provide natural candidates for an inflaton that can generate slow roll inflation. We show that, in the case of a non Abelian discrete symmetry, the pseudo Goldstone modes readily couple...
متن کاملHybrid inflation.
Usually inflation ends either by a slow rolling of the inflaton field, which gradually becomes faster and faster, or by a first-order phase transition. We describe a model where inflation ends in a different way, due to a very rapid rolling (‘waterfall’) of a scalar field σ triggered by another scalar field φ. This model looks as a hybrid of chaotic inflation with V (φ) = m φ 2 and the usual th...
متن کاملHybrid Inflation in Supergravity
For the last 15 years cosmologists believe that something like inflation is necessary in order to construct an internally consistent cosmological theory. For more than 20 years the best hopes for the theory of all fundamental interactions are related to supersymmetry. Unfortunately it is not that simple to combine these two ideas. The main problem is that the effective potential for the inflato...
