Description

In a supergravity framework we present single field inflationary models built from massive vector multiplets. This property is due to an underlying stueckelberg mechanism where the second scalar partner of the inflaton is eaten by the massive vector. This mechanism can be used to built Starobinsky as well as chaotic models of inflation.
