Inflation and Gauge Mediation in Supersymmetric Gauge Theory
  We propose a simple high-scale inflationary scenario based on a
phenomenologically viable model with direct gauge mediation of low-scale
supersymmetry breaking. Hybrid inflation is occurred in a hidden supersymmetry
breaking sector. Two hierarchical mass scales to reconcile both high-scale
inflation and gauge mediation are necessary for the stability of the metastable
supersymmetry breaking vacuum. Our scenario is also natural in light of the
Landau pole problem of direct gauge mediation.
