Gravitino Production After Inflation
read the original abstract
We investigate the production of gravitinos in a cosmological background. Gravitinos can be produced during preheating after inflation due to a combined effect of interactions with an oscillating inflaton field and absence of conformal invariance. In order to get insight on conformal properties of gravitino we reformulate phenomenological supergravity in SU(2,2|1)-symmetric way. The Planck mass and F- and D-terms appear via the gauge-fixed value of a superfield that we call conformon. We find that in general the probability of gravitino production is not suppressed by the small gravitational coupling. This may lead to a copious production of gravitinos after inflation. Efficiency of the new non-thermal mechanism of gravitino production is very sensitive to the choice of the underlying theory. This may put strong constraints on certain classes of inflationary models.

Dark matter from the quadratic spinor Lagrangian II: A spin-3/2 no-go and the uniqueness of the spin-1/2 candidate
The quadratic spinor Lagrangian admits only a composite spin-1/2 Dirac fermion as its propagating matter excitation and unique dark-matter candidate, with no massive spin-3/2 mode on any background.

Creation of spin-3/2 dark matter via cosmological gravitational particle production
Cosmological gravitational particle production of stable spin-3/2 raritrons yields the observed dark matter abundance across wide ranges of mass relative to the Hubble scale at the end of inflation.

Dark matter from the quadratic spinor Lagrangian II: A spin-3/2 no-go and the uniqueness of the spin-1/2 candidate
A no-go theorem establishes that only the composite spin-1/2 Dirac fermion propagates as dark matter in the quadratic spinor Lagrangian, ruling out spin-3/2.

Dark matter from the quadratic spinor Lagrangian I: Geometric mass for a gravitationally produced spin-1/2 fermion
The QSL framework generates a geometric Dirac mass M_eff = (1/√6)|χ̇/χ| for spin-1/2 fermions from gravitational freeze-in, locked to H_* so that relic abundance depends on essentially one scale.
