In continuation of the papers hep-th/0505012 and hep-th/0508101 we investigate the consequences when N open-string tachyons roll down simultaneously. We demonstrate that the N-tachyon system coupled to gravity does indeed give rise to the assisted slow-roll inflation.

It is shown that the nonperturbative dynamics of a phase change to the nontrivial phase of λφ4-theory in the early universe can give rise to slow-rollover inflation without recourse to unnaturally small couplings.

Abstract We propose a new construction of the supergravity inflation as an UV completion of the Higgs-R2 inflation. In the dual description of R2-supergravity, we show that there appear dual chiral superfields containing the scalaron or sigma field in the Starobinsky inflation, which unitarizes the supersymmetric Higgs inflation with a large non-minimal coupling up to the Planck scale. We find that a successful slow-roll inflation is achievable in the Higgs-sigma field space, but under the condition that higher curvature terms are introduced to cure the tachyonic mass problems for spectator singlet scalar fields. We also discuss supersymmetry breaking and its transmission to the visible sector as a result of the couplings of the dual chiral superfields and the non-minimal gravity coupling of the Higgs fields.
