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. Lett. 73 (1994) 1886 Reviews D. Baumann, arxiv: v (01) V. Mukhanov, Physical Foundations of Cosmology (005) D. S. Gorbunov and V. A. Rubakov, Theory of the Early Universe, Vol II (01)

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

7 The microwave background sky as seen by Planck 013: fluctuations one million times smaller than average; best evidence for hot early universe

8 DM h = ± Planck power spectrum 015; implications: flat universe, abundance of matter & dark matter,... ; primordial density perturbations from QUANTUM FLUCTUATIONS [Chibisov, Mukhanov 81,...]

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
