Description
Flat directions in the MSSM have long been used to generate a large baryon number asymmetry via the Affleck-Dine mechanism. In a complete theory that includes SUSY breaking it is unlikely they are alone. Renormalisable O'Raifeartaigh models also possess flat directions that can carry R-charge. I will discuss the cosmological consequences of these fields and the possible formation of large, classical objects: R-balls.
