Description
The early universe after inflation can have enhanced production, in fact "runaway production," of Rarita-Schwinger fields (spin-3/2 fermions). I will discuss the implication of gravitational production of Rarita-Schwinger fields for dark matter and for the identification of Rarita-Schwinger fields as the gravitino.
