abstract

We consider inflation and supersymmetry breaking in the context of a minimal model of supersymmetry in which the only "low" energy remnant of supersymmetry is the gravitino with a mass of order an EeV. In this theory, the supersymmetry breaking scale is above the inflaton mass, m ~ 3 x 10^{13} GeV, as are all sfermion and gaugino masses. In particular, for a no-scale formulation of Starobinsky-like inflation using the volume modulus T, we show that inflation can be accommodated even when the supersymmetry breaking scale is very large. Reheating is driven through a gravitational coupling to the two Higgs doublets and is enhanced by the large mu-parameter. This leads to gravitino cold dark matter where the mass is constrained to be in the range 0.1 EeV $\lesssim m_{3/2} \lesssim 1000$ EeV.

Reheating in No-Scale Models of Inflation

hep-ph · 2026-06-30 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Generalized no-scale models with R=2/(3α) for α≠1 or non-minimal gauge couplings allow unsuppressed inflaton decays, producing calculable reheating temperatures and (n_s,r) predictions.
