F-term inflation in Superstring Theories
A supersymmetric inflationary stage dominated by an $F$-term has the problem that the flatness of the potential is spoiled by supergravity corrections, that is the slow-roll parameter $\eta$ gets contributions of order unity. We show that in $F$-term inflationary models based on strings there is nat...

Sumario: | A supersymmetric inflationary stage dominated by an $F$-term has the problem that the flatness of the potential is spoiled by supergravity corrections, that is the slow-roll parameter $\eta$ gets contributions of order unity. We show that in $F$-term inflationary models based on strings there is natural way of obtaining small values of $\eta$. This happens in models of hybrid inflation based on orbifold constructions, in which a modulus $T$ field is responsible for the large value of the potential during inflation, and a second field illustrate the mechanism with a model in which the inflaton potential is provided by gaugino condensation, leading to succesful inflation. |
