Natural explanation for discrete R-symmetry in successful inflation in N=1 supergravity
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently it was shown that discrete R-invariance in superpotential can lead to a successful flat potential in inflation. We suggest that this discrete R-symmetry arises from an underlying supersymmetric gauge theory, which gives rise to a scalar inflaton as a composite field. This discrete R-symmetry is common to the dynamical breaking scenarios in global supersymmetry studied several years ago. Some extension of the R-invariance method is also shown.

Natural chaotic inflation in supergravity
We propose a chaotic inflation model in supergravity. In the model the Kahler potential has a Nambu-Goldstone-type shift symmetry of the inflaton chiral multiplet which ensures the flatness of the inflaton potential beyond the Planck scale. We show that chaotic inflation naturally takes place by introducing a small breaking term of the shift symmetry in the superpotential. This may open a new b...
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 کاملSupersymmetric Hybrid Inflation
The non-supersymmetric and supersymmetric versions of hybrid inflation are summarized. In the latter, the necessary inclination along the inflationary trajectory is provided by radiative corrections. Supersymmetric hybrid inflation (with its extensions) is an extremely ‘natural’ inflationary scenario. The reasons are that it does not require ‘tiny’ parameters, its superpotential has the most ge...
متن کاملFlat Potential for Inflaton with a Discrete R-invariance in Supergravity
We show that a very flat potential of inflaton required for a sufficient inflation is naturally obtained in N = 1 supergravity by imposing a discrete R-invariance Zn. Several cosmological constraints on parameters in the inflaton superpotential are derived. The reheating temperature turns out to be (1 − 108)GeV for the cases of n=3–10. Baryogenesis in this model is also discussed briefly. (Subm...
متن کاملNatural Chaotic Inflation in Supergravity and Leptogenesis
We comprehensively investigate a chaotic inflation model proposed recently in the framework of supergravity. In this model, the form of Kähler potential is determined by a symmetry, that is, the Nambu-Goldstone like shift symmetry, which guarantees the absence of the exponential factor in the potential for the inflaton field. Though we need introduction of small parameters, the smallness of par...
