Chaotic hybrid inflation with a gauged B–L

In this paper we present a novel formulation of chaotic hybrid inflation in supergravity. The model includes a waterfall field which spontaneously breaks a gauged U1(B–L) at a GUT scale. This allows for the possibility of future model building which includes the standard formulation of baryogenesis...
