D - Term Inflation

چکیده
We show that inflation which is dominated by the D-term density avoids the 'slow-roll' problem of inflation in supergravity. Such an inflationary scenario can naturally emerge in theories with non-anomalous or anomalous U(1) gauge symmetry. In the latter case the scale of inflation is fixed by the Green–Schwarz mechanism of anomaly cancellation. The crucial point is that the (super)gravity-mediated curvature of all the scalar fields (and, in particular, of the inflaton), which in the standard F-dominated case is of the order of the Hubble parameter, is absent in the D-term inflation case. The curvature of moduli and of all other flat directions during such an inflation crucially depends on their gauge charges.

D-term inflation in non-minimal supergravity
D-term inflation is one of the most interesting and versatile models of inflation. It is possible to implement naturally D-term inflation within high energy physics, as for example SUSY GUTs, SUGRA, or string theories. D-term inflation avoids the η-problem, while in its standard form it always ends with the formation of cosmic strings. Given the recent three-year WMAP data on the cosmic microwa...
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 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 کاملSuper Hilltop Inflation
In this paper, we consider logarithmic radiative corrections and higher order terms to the supersymmetric hilltop Fand D-term hybrid inflation models. Conventional Fand D-term hybrid inflation only predicts ns > ∼ 0.98. We show that via a positive quadratic and a negative quartic correction the spectral index can be reduced to ns = 0.96 suggested from latest WMAP result and also cosmic string p...
متن کاملP-term, D-term and F-term inflation
P-term inflation is a version of hybrid inflation which naturally appears in some brane inflation models. It was introduced in the framework of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory where superconformal SU(2, 2|2) symmetry is broken down to N=2 supersymmetry by the vev of the auxiliary triplet field ~ P . Depending on the direction of this vev, one can get either D-term inflation or F-term inflation ...
متن کاملModuli Corrections to D-term Inflation
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 ...
