15 The coupling constant, the energy scale and the inflaton value «measured» from the data. What INITIAL CONDITIONS I.C. lead to enough efolds? Is there fine tuning on these I.C.?
16 :? Study dynamics of non SUSY hybrid model toy model for many realistic models [Linde 99]: Equations of motion : ' 4, ψ λ λ ψ ψ m M V, 3 with 0 with 0,, 3 0 with 0,, 3 ψ ψ ψ ψ ψ ψ ψ ψ ψ V M H V H V H P i i & & & && & && ψ 0 V,ψ Goal : assuming some random initial conditions for the fields and ψ, we study the trajectory and if the slow roll conditions are realized calculate Nt. Definition : successful inflation if Normalization to COBE N tot > 60
17 Known situation : fine tuning on initial values of and ψ to have a sufficient slow roll and N tot >60 [Mendes & Liddle 000, Tetradis 998]. Mendes & Liddle 000 Tetradis 998 Questions : Is this true in the rest of the parameter space? How to interpret/understand the isolated successful dots?

19 Interpretation with some successful trajectories : B A ψ ψ Conclusions : A type trajectories are oscillation slow roll in direction ψ C B type trajectories are «miraculous» : the system climb up the valley and slide back down C type trajectories are mostly chaotic inflation in the ψ direction
20 Can we constrain more D-term inflation with the spectral index? How to improve predictions for n S for D-term inflation?

Solution for V RG : we introduce running parameters to account for a change in µ : dci t dt β c, with ct 0 c and t ln µ / µ j Theorem : then the RG improved potential is constructed by [Bando et al. 993] a perturbative solution V pert,c i to the CS equation at L-loop β functions at L-loop V RG c i V pert c i in order to resum the leading L0, sub-leading L, logs.

26 The improvement? µ cst running µ which can follow m eff > Log stay small in a bigger range. CW contains only h terms RG contains infinite powers of h. All the leading divergences in the Logs are resumed. For t0 or at order h, the perturbative potential MUST be recovered. How to choose V pert and µ? Restored symmetry case m >0 Here m eff m λ/ Case : µ and V pert V CW Case : µ m λ/ and V pert V CW V RG Case In the case, µ is IR regulated by m and don t vanish anymore. Case
27 Broken symmetry case m <0 Here m eff -m λ/. V diverges at crit m /λ. V tree Study of V all choices below give a nonsingular V. Case : µ -m λ/, V pert V tree or V CW. CW Case : µ m λ/, V pert V CW. Case 3 : µ m λ/, V pert V CW and β- loop. V RG Case V RG case & 3 with V CW [J.R., Greene in prep 008]
28 Cosmic strings are powerful objects to constrain models of inflation motivated by HEP. D-term inflation suffers from fine tuning on its coupling constant due to Cosmic Strings formation λ<0-5. Situation unchanged if consider non-minimal Kahler or SUGRA from SCFT. When embedded in SUSY GUTs, F-term inflation generically produces Cosmic Strings at the end. Similar fine-tuning imposed on its coupling. The dynamic shows NO fine-tuning on the Initial Conditions of hybrid inflation if transplanckian field values allowed. The fine-tuned successful points are due to fortuitous trajectories in field space. To study predictions of D-term inflation about spectral index, one needs to improve the calculation of radiative correction. The usual renormalization group methods don t work so far. This improvement is motivated for many HEP models of inflation containing an inflection point as well as other aspects of cosmology preheating,.
29 Phenomenology of SUSY GUTs and orthogonal constraints Constraints from neutrinos mass for F-term inflation within SUSY GUTs see-saw. What constraint on M from gauge unification? Constraints from proton decay on other SSBs? Phenomenology of GUT models with multiple SSB not well known. Nature of strings in SUSY GUTs Generic nature of strings : are the strings abelian or Z or both? More realistic SSB pattern will involve additionnal discrete symmetries. Formation of hybrid defects or Y-junctions? Consequence for cosmology? RG improved potential for theories with inflection point How to construct an improved potential whose second derivative is non singular? Application to MSSM inflation & some string theory models Application to preheating of hybrid inflation Hybrid inflation & initial conditions More of the parameter space to study. For what models of inflation is it safe to consider super-planckian values of the fields?
