Pure Gravity Mediation and Chaotic Inflation in Supergravity
arXiv:1407.1580 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.90.075022
Abstract
We investigate compatibility of the pure gravity mediation (or the minimal split supersymmetry) with chaotic inflation models in supergravity. We find that an approximate Z2 parity of the inflaton is useful to suppress gravitino production from thermal bath and to obtain consistent inflation dynamics. We discuss production of the lightest supersymmetric particle through the decay of the inflaton with the approximate Z2 symmetry and find that a large gravitino mass is favored to avoid the overproduction of the lightest supersymmetric particle, while a lower gravitino mass requires tuning of parameters. This may explain why the nature has chosen the gravitino mass of O(100) TeV rather than O(100) GeV.
