Natural Inflation and Low Energy Supersymmetry
  Natural (axionic) inflation provides a well-motivated and predictive scheme
for the description of the early universe. It leads to sizeable primordial
tensor modes and thus a high mass scale of the inflationary potential. Naively
this seems to be at odds with low (TeV) scale supersymmetry, especially when
embedded in superstring theory. We show that low scale supersymmetry is
compatible with natural (high scale) inflation. The mechanism requires the
presence of two axions that are provided through the moduli of string theory.
