The proposed super-potential is uniquely determined by applying a continuous R and a discrete Z(n) symmetry. We select two types of logarithmic Kahler potentials, one associated with a no-scale-type SU(2, 1)/SU(2) x U(1)(R) x Z(n) Kahler manifold and one more generic. In both cases, imposing a lower bound on the parameter c R involved in the coupling between the inflaton and the Ricci scalar curvature -- e.g. c(R) greater than or similar to 76, 105, 310 for n -- 2, 3 and 6 respectively -, inflation can be attained even for subplanckian values of the inflaton while the corresponding effective theory respects the perturbative unitarity. In the case of no-scale SUGRA we show that, for every n, the inflationary observables remain unchanged and in agreement with the current data while the inflaton mass is predicted to be 3 . 10(13) GeV. Beyond no-scale SUGRA the inflationary observables depend mildly on n and crucially on the coefficient involved in the fourth order term of the Kahler potential which mixes the inflaton with the accompanying non-inflaton field.", optnote="WOS:000341848800057", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1944), last updated on Thu, 16 Oct 2014 18:49:10 +0000", issn="1475-7516", doi="10.1088/1475-7516/2014/08/057", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1403.5486", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1088/1475-7516/2014/08/057", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="arXiv:1403.5486", language="English" }
