Abstract
In supergravity models (such as standard superstring constructions) that possess a Heisenberg symmetry, supersymmetry breaking by the inflationary vacuum energy does not lift flat directions at tree-level. One-loop corrections give small squared masses that are negative (∼ − g 2 H 2/(4 π) 2) for all flat directions that do not involve the stop. After inflation, these flat directions generate a large baryon asymmetry; typically n B / s ∼ O(1). We consider mechanisms for suppressing this asymmetry to the observed level. These include dilution from inflaton or moduli decay, GUT non-flatness of the vev direction, and higher dimensional operators in both GUT models and the MSSM. We find that the observed BAU can easily be generated when one or more of these effects is present.
