Stochastic Approach to Flat Direction during Inflation
We revisit the time evolution of a flat and non-flat direction system during
inflation. In order to take into account quantum noises in the analysis, we
base on stochastic formalism and solve coupled Langevin equations numerically.
We focus on a class of models in which tree-level Hubble-induced mass is not
generated. Although the non-flat directions can block the growth of the flat
direction's variance in principle, the blocking effects are suppressed by the
effective masses of the non-flat directions. We find that the fate of the flat
direction during inflation is determined by one-loop radiative corrections and
non-renormalizable terms as usually considered, if we remove the zero-point
fluctuation from the noise terms.Comment: 17 pages, 4 figures, v2: minor corrections made, published in JCA
Remarks on Hubble Induced Mass from Fermion Kinetic Term
We evaluate the effective mass of a scalar field which interacts with visible
sector via Planck-suppressed coupling in supergravity framework. We focus on
the radiation-dominated (RD) era after inflation and the contribution from a
fermionic field in the thermal bath. We find that, in RD era, the fermion
kinetic term gives the effective mass of the order of Hubble scale to the
scalar field.Comment: 8 pages, v2: minor corrections made, published in PL
