Supersymmetric Majoron Inflation

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2017-04-26 v1

Abstract

We propose supersymmetric Majoron inflation in which the Majoron field Φ\Phi responsible for generating right-handed neutrino masses may also be suitable for giving low scale "hilltop" inflation, with a discrete lepton number ZNZ_N spontaneously broken at the end of inflation, while avoiding the domain wall problem. In the framework of non-minimal supergravity, we show that a successful spectral index can result with small running together with small tensor modes. We show that a range of heaviest right-handed neutrino masses can be generated, mN1011016m_N\sim 10^1-10^{16} GeV, consistent with the constraints from reheating and domain walls.
