`SUSY Flat Directions - to get a VEV or not?'

Abstract: I will investigate the potential of SUSY flat directions (FDs). 
Large FD vacuum expectation values (VEVs) can delay thermalisation and 
solve the gravitino problem - if FDs decay perturbatively. This depends on 
how many and which directions get the VEVs. We investigate some flat 
directions. Often the decay of the FDs have been studied with the VEVs as 
input. We look also at how the VEVs come about - statistically and 
analytically.
