We study non-thermal gravitino production in the minimal supergravity inflation. In this minimal model utilizing orthogonal nilpotent superfields, the particle spectrum includes only graviton, gravitino, inflaton, and goldstino. We find that a substantial fraction of the cosmic energy density can be transferred to the longitudinal gravitino due to non-trivial change of its sound speed. This implies either a breakdown of the effective theory during reheating or a serious gravitino problem.

  1. Dilaton-Flattened Axion Inflation

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Dilaton backreaction on an anomaly-inspired axion potential generates a closed-form Lambert-W flattened hilltop, giving r ≈ 0.033–0.036 and α_s ≈ −4.6×10^{-4} at N=56 with strictly adiabatic dynamics.

  2. Creation of spin-3/2 dark matter via cosmological gravitational particle production

    hep-ph 2025-12 accept novelty 7.0

    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.
