Gravitino constraints on supergravity inflation [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2111.03645


Supergravity embedding of the Standard Model of particle physics provides phenomenologically well-motivated and observationally viable inflationary scenarios. We study a class of inflationary models based on the superconformal framework of supergravity and discuss constraints from the reheating temperature, with the particular focus on the gravitino problem inherent in these scenarios. We point out that a large part of the parameter space within the latest BICEP/Keck 95\% confidence contour has already been excluded by the gravitino constraints. Precision measurements of the scalar spectral index by a future mission may falsify these scenarios conclusively.
