Nonminimal Inflation in Supersymmetric GUTs with $U(1{)}_R\times Z_n$ Symmetry

Abstract

A supersymmetric hybrid inflation framework is employed to realize a class of non-minimal inflation models with $U(1{)}_R\times Z_n$ global symmetry. This framework naturally incorporates models based on grand unified theories by avoiding the most commonly faced monopole problem. The predictions of inflationary observables, the scalar spectral index $n_s=0.960-0.966$ and the tensor to scalar ratio $r=0.0031-0.0045$, are in perfect agreement with the Planck 2018 data. For sub-Planckian values of the field the $Z_n$ symmetry is only allowed for $n\le 4$.
