Inflation and Gauge Mediation in Supersymmetric Gauge Theory

Understand

We propose a simple high-scale inflationary scenario based on a phenomenologically viable model with direct gauge mediation of low-scale supersymmetry breaking.

• Hybrid inflation is occurred in a hidden supersymmetry breaking sector.
• Two hierarchical mass scales to reconcile both high-scale inflation and gauge mediation are necessary for the stability of the metastable supersymmetry breaking vacuum.
• Our scenario is also natural in light of the Landau pole problem of direct gauge mediation.
