Candidates for the inflaton field in superstring models
Abstract
We consider the flat directions of the potential that play a crucial role in the four-dimensional supersymmetric models that are believed to emerge from the compactification of superstring theories and study the possibility that they give rise to an inflationary scenario. None of the scalar fields present in these models---in particular the dilaton field connected with supersymmetry breaking and the SU(5)-singlet scalars in the matter sector---seem, however, to be good candidates for the inflaton, the scalar field whose cosmological evolution leads to an inflationary expansion of the Universe.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
