CMBPol Mission Concept Study: Probing Inflation with CMB Polarization
Daniel Baumann, Mark G. Jackson, Peter Adshead +56
We summarize the utility of precise cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization measurements as probes of the physics of inflation. We focus on the prospects for using CMB measu…
Gravity Waves and Linear Inflation from Axion Monodromy
Liam McAllister, Eva Silverstein, Alexander Westphal
Wrapped branes in string compactifications introduce a monodromy that extends the field range of individual closed-string axions to beyond the Planck scale. Furthermore, approximat…
Holographic Systematics of D-brane Inflation
Daniel Baumann, Anatoly Dymarsky, Shamit Kachru +2
We provide a systematic treatment of possible corrections to the inflaton potential for D-brane inflation in the warped deformed conifold. We consider the D3-brane potential in the…
