D-Term Inflation: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
arXiv:hep-ph/9710329 · doi:10.1142/9789814447263_0037
Abstract
An inflationary stage dominated by a D-term avoids the slow-roll problem of inflation in supergravity and can naturally emerge in theories with a non-anomalous or anomalous U(1) gauge symmetry. In this talk different aspects of D-term inflation are discussed.
