Generic no-scale inflation inspired from string theory compactifications
Abstract
We propose the generic no-scale inflation inspired from string theory compactifications. We consider the K\"ahler potentials with an inflaton field , as well as one, two, and three K\"ahler moduli. Also, we consider the renormalizable superpotential of in general. We study the spectral index and tensor-to-scalar ratio in details, and find the viable parameter spaces which are consistent with the Planck and BICEP/Keck experimental data on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The spectral index is for all models, and the tensor-to-scalar ratio is , and for the one, two and three moduli models, respectively. The particular for two moduli model comes from the contributions of the non-negligible higher order term in potential. In the three moduli model, the scalar potential is similar to the global supersymmetry, but the K\"ahler potential is different. The E-model with and T-model with can be realized in the one modulus model and the three moduli model, respectively. Interestingly, the models with quadratic and quartic potentials still satisfy the current tight bound on after embedding into no-scale supergravity.
