Dynamical D-Terms in Supergravity
Valerie Domcke, Kai Schmitz, Tsutomu T. Yanagida
Most phenomenological models of supersymmetry breaking rely on nonzero F-terms rather than nonzero D-terms. An important reason why D-terms are often neglected is that it turns out…
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies as degenerate gas of free fermions
Valerie Domcke, Alfredo Urbano
In this paper we analyze a simple scenario in which Dark Matter (DM) consists of free fermions with mass . We assume that on galactic scales these fermions are capable of form…
The Chaotic Regime of D-Term Inflation
W. Buchmuller, V. Domcke, K. Schmitz
We consider D-term inflation for small couplings of the inflaton to matter fields. Standard hybrid inflation then ends at a critical value of the inflaton field that exceeds the Pl…
GUT-scale inflation with sizeable tensor modes
Felix Brummer, Valerie Domcke, Veronica Sanz
A sizeable tensor-to-scalar ratio, such as recently claimed by BICEP2, would imply a scale of inflation at the typical scale of supersymmetric grand unification. This could be an a…
Hybrid Inflation in the Complex Plane
Wilfried Buchmuller, Valerie Domcke, Kohei Kamada +1
Supersymmetric hybrid inflation is an exquisite framework to connect inflationary cosmology to particle physics at the scale of grand unification. Ending in a phase transition asso…
