Abstract We explore proton decay in a class of realistic supersymmetric flipped SU(5) models supplemented by a U(1)R symmetry which plays an essential role in implementing hybrid inflation. Two distinct neutrino mass models, based on inverse seesaw and type I seesaw, are identified, with the latter arising from the breaking of U(1)R by nonrenormalizable superpotential terms. Depending on the neutrino mass model an appropriate set of intermediate scale color triplets from the Higgs superfields play a key role in proton decay channels that include p → (e+, μ+) π0, p → (e+, μ+) K0, p →$$ \overline{v}{\pi}^{+} $$ v ¯ π + , and p →$$ \overline{v}{K}^{+} $$ v ¯ K + . We identify regions of the parameter space that yield proton lifetime estimates which are testable at Hyper-Kamiokande and other next generation experiments. We discuss how gauge coupling unification in the presence of intermediate scale particles is realized, and a Z4 symmetry is utilized to show how such intermediate scales can arise in flipped SU(5). Finally, we compare our predictions for proton decay with previous work based on SU(5) and flipped SU(5).

Abstract We discuss proton decay in a recently proposed model of supersymmetric hybrid inflation based on the gauge symmetry SU(4)c× SU(2)L× SU(2)R. A U(1) R symmetry plays an essential role in realizing inflation as well as in eliminating some undesirable baryon number violating operators. Proton decay is primarily mediated by a variety of color triplets from chiral superfields, and it lies in the observable range for a range of intermediate scale masses for the triplets. The decay modes include p → e+(μ+) + π0, $$ p\to \overline{\nu}+{\pi}^{+} $$ p → ν ¯ + π + , p → K0 + e+(μ+), and $$ p\to {K}^{+}+\overline{\nu} $$ p → K + + ν ¯ , with a lifetime estimate of order 1034–1036 yrs and accessible at Hyper-Kamiokande and future upgrades. The unification at the Grand Unified Theory (GUT) scale MGUT (∼ 1016 GeV) of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) gauge couplings is briefly discussed.

A model of multi-component hybrid inflation, dubbed multi-brid inflation, which may yield a large non-Gaussian paramter fNL, was proposed recently. In particular, for a two-brid inflation model with an exponential potential and the condition that the end of inflation is an ellipse in the field space, it was found that, while keeping the other observational quantities within the range consistent with observations, large non-Gaussianity is possible for certain inflationary trajectories. In this talk, in order to see if this result is a general feature of multi-brid inflation, we consider a model with a potential with an exponent quadratic in the scalar field components. We also consider a more general class of ellipses for the end of inflation. Focusing on the case of two-brid inflation, we find that large non-Gaussianity is also possible in the present model. Then by tuning the model parameters, we find that there exist models for which both the non-Gaussianity and the tensor-to-scalar ratio are large enough to be detected in the very near future.

It is shown that, in the supersymmetric smooth hybrid inflation model with the minimal Kähler potential, the spectral index ns is larger than 0.97 in the standard inflation. In this context, we study the smooth hybrid inflationary model in the framework of the Randall–Sundrum type-II braneworld model. We derive all known inflationary spectrum parameters which are widely consistent with Planck data for a particular choice of brane tension values λ especially for number of e-folds N = 50. We reproduce the central value of the scalar spectral index ns = 0.96 whereas the ratio r~(10-4-10-3). However, the running of the scalar spectral index [Formula: see text] is not excluded from the range given by the latest observational measurements.
