F-term Inflation in M-theory with Five-branes
arXiv:hep-ph/9908266 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(99)01090-4
Abstract
We study F-term inflation in M-theory with and without five-brane moduli fields. We show the slow rolling condition is not satisfied in M-theory without five-brane moduli fields, but it can be satisfied in the case with non-vanishing F-terms of five-brane moduli fields.
