Inflation from String Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
I review some aspects of obtaining inflation from string theory, in particular braneantibrane inflation within the framework of KKLMMT, and racetrack inflation. Further, I discuss recent work on the problem of reheating after brane-antibrane annihilation, and possible distinctive features of production of cosmic string and brane defects at this time.

Inflation in String Theory and how you can get out of it
Inflation is now a basic ingredient of the modern cosmology. After reviewing the basic characteristics of inflation, we briefly discuss inflation in string and brane theories, focusing on the problem of the exit from inflation in these theories. We present a model, based on type-0 string theory, in which our universe after the inflationary phase, passes smoothly to a flat Robertson-Walker unive...
متن کاملAdvances in Inflation in String Theory
We provide a pedagogical overview of inflation in string theory. Our theme is the sensitivity of inflation to Planck-scale physics, which we argue provides both the primary motivation and the central theoretical challenge for the subject. We illustrate these issues through two case studies of inflationary scenarios in string theory: warped D-brane inflation and axion monodromy inflation. Finall...
متن کاملSustainability of multi-field inflation and bound on string scale
We study the effects of the interaction terms between the inflaton fields on the inflationary dynamics in multi-field models. With power law type potential and interactions, the total number of e-folds may get considerably reduced and can lead to unacceptably short period of inflation. Also we point out that this can place a bound on the characteristic scale of the underlying theory such as str...
متن کاملWilson Line Inflation
We present a general set-up for inflation in string theory where the inflaton field corresponds to Wilson lines in compact space in the presence of magnetic fluxes. T -dualities and limits on the value of the magnetic fluxes relate this system to the standard D-brane inflation scenarios, such as brane-antibrane inflation, D3/D7 brane inflation and different configurations of branes at angles. T...
متن کاملTesting String Theory with CMB
Future detection/non-detection of tensor modes from inflation in CMB observations presents a unique way to test certain features of string theory. Current limit on the ratio of tensor to scalar perturbations, r = T/S, is r <∼ 0.3, future detection may take place for r >∼ 10−2 − 10−3. At present all known string theory inflation models predict tensor modes well below the level of detection. Ther...
