Higher Curvature Supergravity, Supersymmetry Breaking and Inflation
arXiv:1407.5187
Abstract
In these lectures, after a short introduction to cosmology, we discuss the supergravity embedding of higher curvature models of inflation. The supergravity description of such models is presented for the two different formulations of minimal supergravity.
