Radiative Corrections and Reheating in Supergravity Models of Inflation

We consider the effects of radiative corrections in Starobinsky-like models of inflation, concentrating on models of inflation formulated in N=1 no-scale supergravity. Inflaton couplings with matter fields are necessary for reheating and these have an impact on loop corrections due to the inflaton potential. Whilst corrections due to the supergravity couplings of the inflaton to Standard Model (MSSM) fields are negligible, we use Planck data to obtain interesting constraints on GUT bilinear couplings, vevs, and gauge boson masses that could be sharpened by future CMB measurements.

Abstract

We consider the effects of radiative corrections in Starobinsky-like models of inflation, concentrating on models of inflation formulated in N=1 no-scale supergravity. Inflaton couplings with matter fields are necessary for reheating and these have an impact on loop corrections due to the inflaton potential. Whilst corrections due to the supergravity couplings of the inflaton to Standard Model (MSSM) fields are negligible, we use Planck data to obtain interesting constraints on GUT bilinear couplings, vevs, and gauge boson masses that could be sharpened by future CMB measurements.
