Flat Potential for Inflaton with a Discrete R-Invariance in Supergravity

Flat Potential for Inflaton with a Discrete R-Invariance in Supergravity

We show that a very flat potential of inflaton required for a sufficient inflation is naturally obtained in N = 1 supergravity by imposing a discrete R-invariance Zn (n ≥3). Several cosmological constraints on parameters in the inflaton superpotential are derived. The reheating temperature turns out to be (1 - …
