Abstract:We reconsider fluctuations of Affleck-Dine (AD) field in a D-term inflation model. Contrary to the previous analysis, we find that the spectrum of the adiabatic fluctuations is almost scale invariant even if the AD field has a large initial value. Furthermore, we study the isocurvature fluctuations of the AD field and estimate the ratio of the isocurvature to adiabatic power spectrum. The dynamics of the inflaton and AD fields sets the upper bound for the value of the AD field, leading to a lower limit for iso… Show more

Section: B Evolution Of Non-adiabatic Perturbationsmentioning
We review the theory of inflation with single and multiple fields paying particular attention to the dynamics of adiabatic and entropy/isocurvature perturbations which provide the primary means of testing inflationary models. We review the theory and phenomenology of reheating and preheating after inflation providing a unified discussion of both the gravitational and nongravitational features of multi-field inflation. In addition we cover inflation in theories with extra dimensions and models such as the curvaton scenario and modulated reheating which provide alternative ways of generating large-scale density perturbations. Finally we discuss the interesting observational implications that can result from adiabatic-isocurvature correlations and non-Gaussianity.

“…This suppresses the unwanted baryonic isocurvature fluctuations [56][57][58][59][60] which are tightly constrained from current observations [61]. 6 We note that the effect of the term proportional to a h can be omitted after inflation [60].…”
We investigate whether the baryon asymmetry of the universe is explained in the framework of the supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with R-parity violating interactions. It is shown that the Affleck-Dine mechanism naturally works via a trilinear interaction LLE c , LQD c , or, if the magnitude of the coupling corresponding to the operator λ, λ ′ , or λ ′′ is sufficiently small. The formation of Q-balls and their subsequent evolution are also discussed. The present baryon asymmetry can be explained in the parameter region where R-parity is mildly violated 10
10−6 and the mass of the gravitino is relatively heavy m 3/2 10 4 GeV. On the other hand, it is difficult to explain the present baryon asymmetry for larger values of Rparity violating couplings λ, λ ′ , λ ′′ 10 −5 , since Q-balls are likely to be destructed in the thermal environment and the primordial baryon number is washed away.
“…6 Inflation may be driven by a D-term potential of inflaton. In this case, the Hubble-induced mass is absent during inflation but the AD field stays at a nonzero VEV due to the Hubble-friction effect [49][50][51]. The inflaton obtains nonzero F-term after inflation ends, so that the AD field obtains a Hubble-induced mass during the inflaton oscillation dominated era.…”
We propose a new scenario of Affleck-Dine baryogenesis where a flat direction in the MSSM generates B − L asymmetry just after the end of inflation. The resulting amount of baryon asymmetry is independent of low-energy supersymmetric models but is dependent on inflation models. We consider the hybrid and chaotic inflation models and find that reheating temperature is required to be higher than that in the conventional scenario of Affleck-Dine baryogenesis. In particular, nonthermal gravitino-overproduction problem is naturally avoided in the hybrid inflation model. Our results imply that Affleck-Dine baryogenesis can be realized in a broader range of supersymmetry and inflation models than expected in the literature.
