Abstract

We present a simple mechanism for obtaining large-field inflation, and hence a gravitational wave signature, from string theory compactified on twisted tori. For nil manifolds, we obtain a leading inflationary potential proportional to ${\ensuremath{\phi}}^{2/3}$ in terms of the canonically normalized field $\ensuremath{\phi}$, yielding predictions for the tilt of the power spectrum and the tensor-to-scalar ratio, ${n}_{s}\ensuremath{\approx}0.98$ and $r\ensuremath{\approx}0.04$ with 60 e-foldings of inflation; we note also the possibility of a variant with a candidate inflaton potential proportional to ${\ensuremath{\phi}}^{2/5}$. The basic mechanism involved in extending the field range---monodromy in $D$-branes as they move in circles on the manifold---arises in a more general class of compactifications, though our methods for controlling the corrections to the slow-roll parameters require additional symmetries.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
