Antoniadis, Ignatios 2018 <jats:p> I discuss a general class of models where the inflation is driven by supersymmetry breaking with the superpartner of the goldstino (sgoldstino) playing the role of the inflaton. Imposing an R-symmetry allows to satisfy easily the slow-roll conditions, avoiding the so-called [Formula: see text]-problem, and leads to two different classes of small field inflation models; they are characterized by an inflationary plateau around the maximum of the scalar potential, where R-symmetry is either restored or spontaneously broken, with the inflaton rolling down to a minimum describing the present phase of our Universe. Inflation can be driven by either an F- or a D-term, while the minimum has a positive tunable vacuum energy. The models agree with cosmological observations and in the simplest case predict a tensor-to-scalar ratio of primordial perturbations [Formula: see text] and an inflation scale [Formula: see text]. </jats:p> application/pdf https://sonar.ch/global/documents/41628 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1142/s0217751x18440219 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/issn/0217-751X info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess International Journal of Modern Physics A. - World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt. - 2018, vol. 33, no. 31, p. 1844021 Nuclear and High Energy Physics Astronomy and Astrophysics Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics Inflation from supersymmetry breaking http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
