On Inflation in String Theory

Abstract

In this talk we describe recent progress in construction of inflationary models in the context of string theory with flux compactification and moduli stabilization. We also discuss a possibility to test string theory by cosmological observations.

Comments: 38 pages, 8 figures. Based on an invited talk at "Inflation + 25", 22nd IAP Colloquim, Paris (June 2006). To be published in the Proceedings (Springer Lecture Notes, 2007)
