摘要
We show that the isocurvature perturbations imply that the gravitationally produced superheavy dark matter must have masses larger than a few times the Hubble expansion rate at the end of inflation. This together with the bound on tensor to scalar contribution to the CMB induces a lower bound on the reheating temperature for superheavy dark matter to be about 10(7) GeV. Hence, if the superheavy dark-matter scenario is embedded in supergravity models with gravity mediated supersymmetry breaking, the gravitino bound will squeeze this scenario. Furthermore, the CMB constraint strengthens the statement that a gravitationally produced superheavy dark-matter scenario prefers a relatively large tensor mode amplitude if the reheating temperature must be less than 10(9) GeV.
