Inflation from High-Scale Supersymmetry Breaking
Valerie Domcke, Kai Schmitz
Supersymmetry breaking close to the scale of grand unification can explain cosmic inflation. As we demonstrate in this paper, this can be achieved in strongly coupled supersymmetri…
Baryon Asymmetry and Gravitational Waves from Pseudoscalar Inflation
Daniel Jimenez, Kohei Kamada, Kai Schmitz +1
In models of inflation driven by an axion-like pseudoscalar field, the inflaton, a, may couple to the standard model hypercharge via a Chern-Simons-type interaction, $L \subset a/(…
Unified Model of Chaotic Inflation and Dynamical Supersymmetry Breaking
Keisuke Harigaya, Kai Schmitz
The large hierarchy between the Planck scale and the weak scale can be explained by the dynamical breaking of supersymmetry in strongly coupled gauge theories. Similarly, the hiera…
Unified Model of D-Term Inflation
Valerie Domcke, Kai Schmitz
Hybrid inflation, driven by a Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) D term, is an intriguing inflationary model. In its usual formulation, it however suffers from several shortcomings. These perta…
