We develop four-parameter supergravity models of inflation and dark energy, constrained so that ${\delta\rho\over \rho}$, $n_s$ and the cosmological constant $\Lambda $ take their known observable values, but where the mass of gravitino $m_{3/2}$ and the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ are free parameters. We focus on generalized cosmological $\alpha$-attractor models, with logarithmic Kahler potentials, a nilpotent goldstino and spontaneously broken supersymmetry at the de Sitter minimum. The future data on B-modes will specify the parameter $\alpha$, measuring the geometry of the Kahler, manifold. The string landscape idea for dark energy is supported in these models via an incomplete cancellation of the universal positive goldstino and negative gravitino contribution. The scale of SUSY breaking M related to the mass of gravitino in our models is a controllable parameter, independent on the scale of inflation, it will be constrained by LHC data and future collider Energy-frontier experiments.

  1. Isocurvature-Free QCD Axion Dark Matter from Inflaton-Driven Early QCD: the Necessity of Inflationary Plateaus

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Inflaton-gluon coupling raises the QCD scale early in inflation to eliminate axion isocurvature modes, selecting plateau inflation models for viable QCD axion dark matter.

  2. Thermal effects on Dark Matter production during cosmic reheating

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Thermal corrections to reheating and freeze-in DM production rates are generally small in the computable regime but can be large in constructed counter-examples.
