TY - JOUR AU - Dudas, Emilian TI - Three-Form Multiplet and Inflation JO - Journal of high energy physics VL - 2014 IS - 12 SN - 1029-8479 CY - Berlin PB - Springer M1 - PUBDB-2015-01081 M1 - DESY-14-132 SP - 14 PY - 2014 N1 - OA AB - Most successful models of inflation in supergravity have a shift symmetry for the inflaton and contain a stabilizer field coupled to the inflaton in a particular way. We argue that the natural interpretation of the stabilizer, from the viewpoint of the shift symmetry, is a three-form multiplet. Its coupling to the inflaton is uniquely determined by the shift symmetry and the invariance under three-form gauge transformations and has a natural string theory interpretation.
