INFLATION INDUCED SUSY BREAKING AND FLAT VACUUM DIRECTIONS

We discuss how the inflation induced supersymmetry breaking affects th e Bat directions of SUSY vacua. We show that: under general assumption s ail gauge nonsinglet fields, parameterizing flat directions (and in particular squarks and sleptons), get large radiative masses which are related to the value of the Hubble constant (H) and to the expectatio n value of the inflaton held. This mass (typically similar to H) is of ''non-gravitational'' origin and does not vanishes in the global SUSY limit Large radiative corrections are induced by F-term (or D-term) d ensity which dominates the inflationary universe and strongly breaks s upersymmetry. In such theories it is difficult to treat squarks and sl eptons as a light fields in the inflationary period. In the generic su pergravity theories all flat directions, including moduli, are getting curvature of order H. However, for the gauge-nonsinglet Bat direction s radiative contribution to the curvature (induced by renormalizable g auge interactions) may be dominant.
