Retrofitting Models of Inflation
arXiv:0903.0123 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2009.06.015
Abstract
I use the method of retrofitting, developed by Dine, Feng and Silverstein, to generate the scale of inflation dynamically, allowing it to be naturally small. This is a general procedure that may be performed on existing models of supersymmetric inflation. I illustrate this idea on two such models, one an example of F-term inflation and the other an example of D-term inflation.
