Abstract
We present a concrete realization of tribrid inflation within the framework of the gauge group SU(3)c × SU(2)L × SU(2)R × U(1)B-L. In this model, inflation is driven by the neutral components of SU(2)L triplet Higgs fields, which also play a central role in generating the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe via non-thermal leptogenesis. Tiny neutrino masses arise naturally through a type-II seesaw mechanism, facilitated by SU(2)R triplet Higgs fields. Supergravity corrections, stemming from the leading-order terms in a non-minimal Kähler potential, are essential in bringing the predictions of the scalar spectral index ns into agreement with the latest cosmological data, including the Atacama Cosmology Telescope Data Release 6, Planck 2018, and LB-BK18. A key feature of this model is the existence of a viable parameter space that predicts potentially observable primordial gravitational waves, with a tensor-to-scalar ratio r ≲ 0.001, placing it within reach of upcoming experiments.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (JCAP) encompasses theoretical, observational and experimental areas as well as computation and simulation. The journal covers the latest developments in the theory of all fundamental interactions and their cosmological implications (e.g. M-theory and cosmology, brane cosmology). JCAP''s coverage also includes topics such as formation, dynamics and clustering of galaxies, pre-galactic star formation, x-ray astronomy, radio astronomy, gravitational lensing, active galactic nuclei, intergalactic and interstellar matter.
