Abstract

The extremely large value of the cosmological constant that is characteristic of particle physics and the inflation of the early universe are inherently interconnected. One can construct a superpotential that, after consideration for the leading effects due to supergravity, produces a flat potential of inflaton with a constant density of energy V = Λ4. The introduction of relatively small quantum loop corrections to the parameters of this superpotential naturally leads to a dynamical instability taking the form of an inflationary regime of relaxation of the cosmological constant. This pattern is phenomenologically consistent with observational data at Λ ∼ 1016 GeV.
