Superconformal generalizations of the Starobinsky model (1306.3214v2)
Published 13 Jun 2013 in hep-th, astro-ph.CO, gr-qc, and hep-ph
Abstract: We find a way to represent the Starobinsky model in terms of a simple conformally invariant theory with spontaneous symmetry breaking. We also present a superconformal theory, which, upon spontaneous breaking of the superconformal symmetry, provides a consistent supergravity generalization of the Starobinsky model.
