High Temperature Symmetry Breaking via Flat Directions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

We show that the natural presence of flat directions in supersymmetric theories allows for nonrestoration of global and/or gauge symmetries. This has important cosmological consequences for supersymmetric GUTs and in particular it offers a solution of the monopole problem.
