Higgs-otic Inflation and Moduli Stabilization
Sjoerd Bielleman, Luis E. Ibanez, Francisco G. Pedro +2
We study closed-string moduli stabilization in Higgs-otic inflation in Type IIB orientifold backgrounds with fluxes. In this setup large-field inflation is driven by the vacuum ene…
Higgs-otic Inflation and String Theory
Luis E. Ibanez, Fernando Marchesano, Irene Valenzuela
We propose that inflation is driven by a (complex) neutral Higgs of the MSSM extension of the SM, in a chaotic-like inflation setting. The SUSY breaking soft term masses are of ord…
The Inflaton as a MSSM Higgs and Open String Modulus Monodromy Inflation
Luis E. Ibanez, Irene Valenzuela
It has been recently pointed out that the polarization BICEP2 results are consistent with the identification of an inflaton mass m \simeq 10^{13} GeV with the SUSY breaking scale i…
BICEP2, the Higgs Mass and the SUSY-breaking Scale
Luis E. Ibanez, Irene Valenzuela
Recent BICEP2 results on CMB polarisation B-modes suggest a high value for the inflation scale GeV, giving experimental evidence for a physical scale in…
