Braneworld Cosmology: Sneutrino Inflation and Leptogenesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modifications to the Friedmann equation in brane cosmology can have important implications for early universe phenomena such as inflation and the generation of the baryon asymmetry. In the framework of braneworld cosmology, we discuss a mechanism for baryogenesis via leptogenesis in the supersymmetric context, where the sneutrino is responsible for both inflation and the generation of the baryon asymmetry in the universe.

Leptogenesis Scenarios via Non-Thermally Produced Right-handed Neutrino and Sneutrino in Supersymmetric Seesaw Model
Leptogenesis via non-thermally produced right-handed (s)neutrino is surveyed systematically. In particular, we focus on leptogenesis scenarios from righthanded (s)neutrino produced by the decay of inflaton and from right-handed sneutrino condensate. We also briefly discuss leptogenesis after sneutrino inflation. Resultant lepton asymmetry and constraints from the gravitino problem are studied i...
متن کاملSneutrino Inflation in the Light of WMAP: Reheating, Leptogenesis and Flavour-Violating Lepton Decays
We reconsider the possibility that inflation was driven by a sneutrino the scalar supersymmetric partner of a heavy singlet neutrino in the minimal seesaw model of neutrino masses. We show that this model is consistent with data on the cosmic microwave background (CMB), including those from the WMAP satellite. We derive and implement the CMB constraints on sneutrino properties, calculate reheat...

We consider hybrid inflation in the braneworld scenario. In particular, we consider inflation in global supersymmetry with the D-terms in the scalar potential for the inflaton field to be the dominant ones (D-term inflation). We find that D-term dominated inflation can naturally accomodate all requirements of the successful hybrid inflationary model also in the framework of D-brane cos-mology w...

In the first Lecture, the Big Bang and the Standard Model of particle physics are introduced, as well as the structure of the latter and open issues beyond it. Neutrino physics is discussed in the second Lecture, with emphasis on models for neutrino masses and oscillations. The third Lecture is devoted to supersymmetry, including the prospects for discovering it at accelerators or as cold dark ...
متن کاملModel for fluctuating inflaton coupling: sneutrino induced adiabatic perturbations and nonthermal leptogenesis.
We discuss a unique possibility of generating adiabatic density perturbations and leptogenesis from the spatial fluctuations of the inflaton decay rate. The key assumption is that the initial isocurvature perturbations are created in the right-handed sneutrino sector during inflation which is then converted into adiabatic perturbations when the inflaton decays. We discuss distinct imprints on t...
