Abstract

We argue that many models of inflation in string theory require the usual ten-dimensional compactification geometry to be modified during inflation. Based on arguments from the four-dimensional effective theory, we propose a modified ten-dimensional geometry in which the four-dimensional effective theory is just consistent. We also discuss the implications of the light modes in reheating, following inflation. (Based on work in progress with Anupam Mazumdar and Robert Myers.)
