Can Inflation Induce Supersymmetry Breaking in a Metastable Vacuum?
arXiv:0709.1923 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2007.12.032
Abstract
We argue that fields responsible for inflation and supersymmetry breaking are connected by gravitational couplings. In view of the recent progress in studying supersymmetry breaking in a metastable vacuum, we have shown that in models of supersymmetric hybrid inflation, where R-symmetry plays an important role, the scale of supersymmetry breaking is generated dynamically at the end of inflation and turns out to be consistent with gravity mediation.
