Abstract:
We discuss hybrid inflation in supersymmetric flipped SU(5) model such that the cosmic microwave anisotropy δT/T\delta T/T is essentially proportional to (M/MP)2(M /M_{P})^2, where MM denotes the symmetry breaking scale and MPM_{P} (=2.4×1018=2.4\times 10^{18} GeV) is the reduced Planck mass. The magnitude of MM determined from δT/T\delta T/T measurements can be consistent with the value inferred from the evolution of SU(3) and SU(2) gauge couplings. In other words, one could state that flipped SU(5) predicts (more precisely `postdicts') δT/T\delta T/T. The scalar spectral index ns=0.993±0.007n_s = 0.993\pm 0.007, the scalar to tensor ratio satisfies r \lapproxeq 10^{-6}, while dn_s/d{\rm ln}k \lapproxeq 4\times 10^{-4}.
