F-Term Hybrid Inflation with T-Model Kähler Geometry and Beyond
Abstract
We analyze F-term hybrid inflation (FHI) within various grand unified theories (GUTs) in the presence of a Kähler potential for the inflaton field which parameterizes the Kähler manifolds $SU(1,1)/U(1)$ or $SU(2)/U(1)$. We take into account supergravity, radiative, and soft supersymmetry-breaking corrections to the tree-level potential and find that viable FHI can be realized without extrema along the inflationary trajectory for a broad region of the parameter space. For selected superpotential parameters the models' predictions are largely influenced by the curvature of the internal space and the magnitude of the tadpole parameter which are constrained so as to achieve compatibility with the current ACT and SPT data. We also discuss the formation of cosmic strings and their associated gravitational wave signals, potentially detectable by current and upcoming experiments.
