No scale SUGRA SO(10) derived Starobinsky Model of Inflation

We show that a supersymmetric renormalizable theory based on gauge group SO(10) and Higgs system {\bf {10 $\oplus$ 210 $\oplus$ 126 $\oplus$ $\overline{\bf 126}$}} with no scale supergravity can lead to a Starobinsky kind of potential for inflation. Successful inflation is possible in the cases where the potential during inflation corresponds to $SU(3)_C \times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_{B-L}$, $SU(5)\times U(1)$ and flipped $SU(5)\times U(1)$ intermediate symmetry with a suitable choice of superpotential parameters. The reheating in such a scenario can occur via non perturbative decay of inflaton i.e. through "preheating". After the end of reheating, when universe cools down, the finite temperature potential can have a minimum which corresponds to MSSM.
