We revisit the hybrid inflation model focusing on the dynamics of the waterfall field in an analytical way. It is shown that inflation may last long enough during the waterfall regime for some parameter regions, confirming the claim of Clesse. In this case the scalar spectral index becomes red, and can fall into the best fit range of the WMAP observation.

  1. Superhorizon curvature perturbations in hybrid inflation revisited

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Hybrid inflation's waterfall tachyonic instability grows isocurvature modes that convert to curvature perturbations at the field-space turn, yielding a k^{3}-peaked spectrum with always-positive f_NL that enhances PBH...

  2. STOchastic LAttice Simulation of hybrid inflation

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In hybrid inflation, stochastic noise breaks topological defects into sub-Hubble-scale structures, and only the n=1 case leaves a global imprint on the curvature perturbation.

  3. Waterfall phase in supersymmetric hybrid inflation

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Waterfall-phase e-foldings in R-symmetric SUSY hybrid inflation can produce a PTA-compatible scalar-induced gravitational wave background and, in SU(5), dilute monopoles to observable levels.
