Inflation, reheating, leptogenesis and bounds on soft supersymmetry breaking parameters

Abstract

In the no-scale supergravity with Type-I Seesaw model of Non-minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM), we have analysed inflation, reheating and leptogenesis. A no-scale supergravity realization of Starobinsky model of inflation in simple Wess-Zumino model have been shown earlier by Ellis et al. Here we show a no-scale supergravity realization of Starobinsky model of inflation in Type-I Seesaw framework of NMSSM. In this framework an appropriate choice of no-scale Kähler potential results in Starobinsky like plateau inflation along a Higgs-sneutrino $D$-flat direction consistent with the CMB observations. In leptogenesis, the soft-breaking trilinear and bilinear terms play important role. Using conditions for non-thermal contribution to $CP$ asymmetry and successful leptogenesis together with the appropriate reheating at the end of inflation, we have obtained important constraints on the soft supersymmetry breaking parameters.
