Reducing the Spectral Index in Supernatural Inflation
نویسنده
چکیده
Supernatural inflation is an attractive model based just on a flat direction with soft SUSY breaking mass terms in the framework of supersymmetry. The beauty of the model is inferred from its name that the model needs no fine-tuning. However, the prediction of the spectral index is ns > ∼ 1, in contrast to experimental data. In this paper, we show that the beauty of supernatural inflation with the spectral index reduced to ns = 0.96 without any fine-tuning, by considering the general feature that a flat direction is lifted by a non-renormalizable term with an A-term.

Inflation Determinants in Low and High Frequencies: An Implication of Spectral Analysis to Iran
There is no evidence that previous studies, available to Iran’s inflation literature, have used spectral methodology to analyze a possible relationship between inflation and its main determinants within a specific period. Accordingly, the present study investigates the effects of money growth, real output growth, output gap and interest rate changes on inflation at low and high frequencies...
متن کاملSupergravity Modification of D-term Hybrid Inflation: Solving the Cosmic String and Spectral Index Problems via a Right-Handed Sneutrino
Supergravity corrections due to the energy density of a right-handed sneutrino can generate a negative mass squared for the inflaton, flattening the inflaton potential and reducing the spectral index and inflaton energy density. For the case of D-term hybrid inflation, we show that the spectral index can be lowered from the conventional value n = 0.98 to a value within the range allowed by the ...
متن کاملInflation from multiple flat directions
We illustrate an example where multiple flat directions give rise to inflation with a help of non-minimal kinetic terms. We show that multiple fields can assist inflation irrespective of the field potentials which are expected to be lifted in the early Universe. We argue that inflation may proceed in this set-up even if individual potentials are too steep to sustain inflation on their own. We c...
متن کاملRunning of Running of the Spectral Index and WMAP Three-year data
Three-year data of WMAP implies not only a negative running of the spectral index with large absolute value, but also a large positive running of running of the spectral index with order of the magnitude 10. We calculate the running of running in usual inflation model and noncommutative inflation model. A large tensor-scalar ratio r ≥ 1.23 is needed in order to fit the WMAP data in the noncommu...
متن کاملReducing the Spectral Index in F-Term Hybrid Inflation
We consider a class of well motivated supersymmetric models of F-term hybrid inflation (FHI) which can be linked to the supersymmetric grand unification. The predicted scalar spectral index ns cannot be smaller than 0.97 and can exceed unity including corrections from minimal supergravity, if the number of e-foldings corresponding to the pivot scale k∗ = 0.002/Mpc is around 50. These results ar...
