Abstract
We consider the possibility that the dark energy responsible for inflation is deposited into extra dimensions outside of our observable universe. Reheating and all matter can then be obtained from the MSSM flat direction condensate involving the Higgses and , which acquires large amplitude by virtue of quantum fluctuations during inflation. The reheat temperature is GeV so that there is no gravitino problem. We find a spectral index with a very weak dependence on the Higgs potential.
