Abstract

In this lecture we discuss some recent work on the effects which gravitinos may play in cosmology. Of particular interest is the nonthermal generation of gravitinos after inflation. We explain the super-Higgs effect in cosmology which gives a conceptual basis for the understanding of the production of helicity ±1/2 gravitino.
