Abstract We investigate the two-stage inflation regime in the theory of hybrid cosmological α -attractors. The spectrum of inflationary perturbations is compatible with the latest Planck/BICEP/Keck Array results, thanks to the attractor properties of the model. However, at smaller scales, it may have a very high peak of controllable width and position, leading to a copious production of primordial black holes (PBH) and generation of a stochastic background of gravitational waves (SGWB).

Abstract We discuss two-stage dilaton-axion inflation models [1] and describe α -attractor models with either exponential or polynomial approach to the plateau. We implement one of the models of primordial black hole production proposed in [2] in the α -attractor context, and develop its supergravity version. The predictions of this model following from its polynomial attractor properties are: n s and r are α -independent, r depends on the mass parameter μ defining the approach to the plateau. The tachyonic ...

Abstract Inflationary α -attractor models can be naturally implemented in supergravity with hyperbolic geometry. They have stable predictions for observables, such as n s = 1 - 2/ N e , assuming that the potential in terms of the original geometric variables, as well as its derivatives, are not singular at the boundary of the hyperbolic disk, or half-plane. In these models, the potential in the canonically normalized inflaton field φ has a plateau, which is approached exponentially fast at large φ . We call ...

We construct $\alpha$-attractor versions of hybrid inflation models. In these models, the potential of the inflaton field $\varphi$ is uplifted by the potential of the second field $\chi$. This uplifting ends due to a tachyonic instability with respect to the field $\chi$, which appears when $\varphi$ becomes smaller than some critical value $\varphi_{c}$. In the large $N$ limit, these models have the standard universal $\alpha$-attractor predictions. In particular, $n_{s }= 1- {2 \over N}$ for the exponential attractors. ...

Abstract We discuss implications of the latest BICEP/Keck data release for inflationary models, with special emphasis on the cosmological attractors which can describe all presently available inflation-related observational data. These models are compatible with any value of the tensor to scalar ratio r , all the way down to r = 0. Some of the string theory motivated models of this class predict 10 -3 ≤ r ≤ 10 -2 . The upper part of this range can be explored by the ongoing BICEP/Keck observations.

We study M-theory compactification on ${\mathbb{T}}^{7}/{\mathbb{Z}}_{2}^{3}$ in the presence of a seven-flux, metric fluxes, and KK monopoles. The effective four-dimensional supergravity has seven chiral multiplets whose couplings are specified by the ${G}_{2}$-structure of the internal manifold. We supplement the corresponding superpotential by a KKLT type nonperturbative exponential contribution for all, or for some of the seven moduli, and find a discrete set of supersymmetric Minkowski minima. We ...

For $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-attractor models, there are discrete targets $3\ensuremath{\alpha}=1,2,\dots{},7$, predicting seven different values of $r=12\ensuremath{\alpha}/{N}^{2}$ in the range ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}2}\ensuremath{\gtrsim}r\ensuremath{\gtrsim}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$.

Hilltop inflation models are often described by potentials V = V0 (1−ϕn/mn+... ). The omitted terms indicated by ellipsis do not affect inflation for m ≲ 1, but the most popular models with n = 2 and 4 for m ≲ 1 are ruled out observationally. Meanwhile in the large m limit the results of the calculations of the tensor to scalar ratio r in the models with V = V0 (1−ϕn/mn), for all n, converge to r = 4/N ≲ 0.07, as in chaotic inflation with V ∼ ϕ, suggesting a reasonably good fit to the Planck data. We show, however, ...

It was shown in [1] that the modified 4D version of the Kachru, Kallosh, Linde, and Trivedi (KKLT) model proposed in [2] is inconsistent for large values of the parameter $c$ advocated in [2], since there is a point in the moduli space where $|{D}_{S}W{|}^{2}$ vanishes. The authors responded with yet another modification of the 4D KKLT model [3]. However, for large $c$, this model suffers from an even worse problem: not only is there a point in the moduli space where $|{D}_{S}W{|}^{2}$ vanishes, there is also ...

A bstract In this note we revisit some of the recent 10d and 4d arguments suggesting that the uplifting of supersymmetric AdS vacua leads to a flattening of the potential, preventing the formation of dS vacua. We explain why the corresponding 10d approach is inconclusive and requires considerable modifications. We also show that while the flattening effects may occur for some extreme values of the parameters, they do not prevent the formation of dS vacua within the range of validity of the 4d KKLT ...

Abstract We study the arguments given in [ ] which suggest that the uplifting procedure in the KKLT construction is not valid. First we show that the modification of the SUSY breaking sector of the nilpotent superfield, as proposed in [ ], is not consistent with non‐linearly realized local supersymmetry of de Sitter supergravity. Keeping this issue aside, we also show that the corresponding bosonic potential does actually describe de Sitter uplifting.

Over the last few years, a large family of cosmological attractor models has been discovered, which can successfully match the latest inflation-related observational data. Many of these models can also describe a small cosmological constant Λ, which provides the most natural description of the present stage of the cosmological acceleration. In this paper, we study α-attractor models with dynamical dark energy, including the cosmological constant Λ as a free parameter. Predominantly, the models with ...

We explain why we consider these conjectures problematic and not well motivated, and why the recently proposed alternative string theory models of dark energy, ignoring vacuum stabilization, are ruled out by cosmological observations at least at the $3\sigma$ level, i.e. with more than $ ...

We study a particular version of the theory of cosmological α-attractors with α=1/3, in which both the dilaton (inflaton) field and the axion field are light during inflation. The kinetic terms in this theory originate from maximal =4 superconformal symmetry and from maximal =8 supergravity. We show that because of the underlying hyperbolic geometry of the moduli space in this theory, it exhibits double attractor behavior: their cosmological predictions are stable not only with respect to significant ...

We construct a model of natural inflation in the context of α-attractor supergravity, in which both the dilaton field and the axion field are light during inflation, and the inflaton may be a combination of the two. The T-model version of this theory is defined on the Poincaré disk with radius |Z| = 1. It describes a Mexican hat potential with the flat axion direction corresponding to a circle of radius |Z| < 1. The axion decay constant fa in this theory can be exponentially large because of the hyperbolic ...

Fibre inflation is a specific string theory construction based on the Large Volume Scenario that produces an inflationary plateau. We outline its relation to α-attractor models for inflation, with the cosmological sector originating from certain string theory corrections leading to α = 2 and α = 1/2. Above a certain field range, the steepening effect of higher-order corrections leads first to the breakdown of single-field slow-roll and after that to the onset of 2-field dynamics: the overall volume ...

According to the famous Lyth bound, one can confirm large field inflation by finding tensor modes with sufficiently large tensor-to-scalar ratio r. Here we will try to answer two related questions: is it possible to rule out all large field inflationary models by not finding tensor modes with r above some critical value, and what can we say about the scale of inflation by measuring r? However, in order to answer these questions one should distinguish between two different definitions of the large ...

These models are motivated by geometric properties of maximally supersymmetric theories: M-theory, superstring theory, and maximal N = 8 supergravity.

According to its most popular version, our world may consist of infinitely many exponentially large parts, exhibiting different sets of low-energy laws of physics. Since these parts are extremely large, the interior of each of them behaves as if it were a separate universe, practically unaffected by the rest of the world.

We construct inflationary models in the context of supergravity with orthogonal nilpotent superfields [Ferrara et al., Phys. Rev. D 93, 043516 (2016)]. When local supersymmetry is gauge-fixed in the unitary gauge, these models describe theories with only a single real scalar (the inflaton), a graviton and a gravitino. Critically, there is no inflatino, no sgoldstino, and no sinflaton in these models. This dramatically simplifies cosmological models which can simultaneously describe inflation, dark ...

We show that the inflaton coupling to all other fields is exponentially suppressed during inflation in the cosmological α-attractor models. In the context of supergravity, this feature is a consequence of the underlying hyperbolic geometry of the moduli space which has a flat direction corresponding to the inflaton field. A combination of these factors protects the asymptotic flatness of the inflaton potential.
