Modified hybrid inflation in no-scale SUGRA with suppressed $R$-symmetry breaking

Abstract

A well-motivated cosmological hybrid inflation scenario based on no-scale SUGRA is considered. It is demonstrated that an extra suppressed $R$-symmetry breaking term $S^n$ with $n\ge 4$ needs to be included in order to realize successful inflation. The resulting potential is found to be similar (but not identical) to the one in the Starobinsky inflation model. A relatively larger tensor-to-scalar ratio $r\sim 10^{-2}$ and a spectral index $n_s\approx 0.965$ are obtained, which are approximately independent of $n$.
