Early Universe cosmology and supergravity
arXiv:hep-ph/0307002
Abstract
In this talk I will describe the role of supersymmetric flat directions in the early Universe cosmology. Particularly I will discuss how supergravity effects lift the flat direction potential and leads to interesting cosmological consequences.
