3 I. The basic picture Key references A. Starobinsky ; A. Linde K. Freese, J. A. Friemann and A. V. Olinto, Phys. Rev. Lett. 65 (1990) 333 G. R. Dvali, Q. Shafi and R. K. Schaefer, Phys. Rev.

4 Slowly rolling scalar fields Scalar field in curved space-time: Z S M = d 4 x p gl, L = 1 g V ( ), with stress energy tensor, i.e. energy density and pressure: T µ = p g S M g µ + g µ L, = (@ i ) + V ( ), p = (@ i ) V ( ) field equations: Friedman equations and equation for : +3H V =0
5 Slowly rolling homogeneous field ( V, V ) satisfies slow roll conditions: = M P = M P V 0 V V 00 V 1, 1 Equations of motion for scalar field and scale factor: Simplest example: chaotic inflation 3H = V 0, H + k a = 1 3M P V V ( )= p
6 Important parameters for models of inflaton: Exponential expansion, number of e-folds until end of inflation (time t e,field value e ): a e = ae N, N = Z te Field at N e-folds before end of inflation: t dth = 1 M P Z (N) = p pnm P, e d V V 0 = 1 p i.e. field super-planckian for N = ; slow roll parameters: M P Spectral indices: = p 4N, = p 1 N tensor-to-scalar ratio: n s 1= 6 = p + N, n t = = p N V 0 = 16 r =8M P V

10 How well do inflation models describe the Planck data?
11 II. Recent developments Example of small field inflation: hybrid inflation, connection with leptogenesis and dark matter Impact of BICEP data Example of large field inflation: chaotic inflation in supergravity, connection with supersymmetry breaking and moduli stabilization The Starobinsky model...
12 SFI: supersymmetric hybrid inflation Leptogenesis & gravitinos: for thermal leptogenesis and typical superparticle masses, thermal production yields observed amount of dark matter: 3/ h = C T R 100 GeV m g, C GeV m 3/ 1TeV 3/ h 0.1 is natural value; but why is reheating temperature close to minimal LG temperature? Simple observation: heavy neutrino decay width (for typical LG parameters) N 1 = m 1 8 M1 v F [WB, Domcke, Kamada, Schmitz 13, 14] 10 3 GeV, em ev, M GeV yields reheating temperature (for gas of decaying heavy neutrinos) T R 0. q 0 N 1 M P GeV wanted for gravitino DM. Intriguing hint or misleading coincidence?
13 Spontaneous B-L breaking & false vacuum decay Supersymmetric SM with right-handed neutrinos: W M = h u ij10 i 10 j H u + h d ij5 i 10 j H d + h ij5 i n c jh u + h n i n c in c is 1 in SU(5) notation: hs 1, i = v B L / p 10 (q, u c,e c ), 5 (d c,l), n c ( c ) 1 W B L = v B L S 1 S yields heavy neutrino masses. ; B-L breaking: Lagrangian is determined by low energy physics: quark, lepton, neutrino masses etc, but it contains all ingredients wanted in cosmology: inflation, leptogenesis, dark matter,..., all related! Technically: Abelian Higgs model in unitary gauge; inflation ends with phase transition ( tachyonic preheating, spinodal decomposition )
14 / V M P 4 / Φ M P S / v B-L H M P time-dependent masses of B-L Higgs, inflaton, heavy neutrinos... (bosons and fermions): m = 1 (3v (t) v B L), m = v (t), M i =(h n i ) v (t)...

19 Spectral index & supersymmetry breaking Inflationary potential can be strongly affected by supersymmetry breaking (supergravity correction): V ( )=V 0 + V CW ( )+V SUGRA ( )+V 3/ ( ), V 0 = V CW ( )= V SUGRA ( )= v 4, 4 4 v 4 3 ln v/ p +..., v 4 8M 4 P , V 3/ ( )= v m 3/ ( + )+... linear term turns hybrid inflation into two-field model in complex plane; strong effect on inflatonary observables, now dependent on trajectory, i.e. initial conditions! Inflation consistent with Planck data now possible (otherswise very difficult)

25 LFI: chaotic inflation in supergravity Motivation: Planck/BICEP data, LFI in effective field theory (supergravity), recent work in string inflation(axion monodromy, aligned axions, inflation in F-theory models...). Minimal setup: inflaton, volume modulus (e.g. KKLT), supersymmetry breaking and uplift to Minkowski vacuum from AdS vacuum (eg. Polonyi field) [WB, Dudas, Heurtier, Westphal, Wieck, Winckler 15] V W = W 0 + Ae at + fx + 1 m, K = 3ln T + T + k X Σ super- & Kahler potential for modulus, Polonyi field and inflaton yield supergravity scalar potential
26 local minimum for modulus exits for sufficiently small inflaton field; integrating out the modulus yields effective inflaton potential: V (') 3 mm 3/' m ' m 3/ V (φ) m φ φ V (φ) Numerical preditions: m 3/ > q mm 3/ '? GeV φ n s =0.966, r =0.106
