Abstract
The most natural way to break the GUT gauge symmetry is with a Higgs field whose vacuum expectation value is of order but whose mass is of order to . This can lead to a cosmological history radically different from what is usually assumed to have occurred between the standard inflationary and nucleosynthesis epochs, which may solve the gravitino and Polonyi/moduli problems in a natural way.
