Inflation and String Theoryby Daniel Baumann, Liam McAllister - arXiv
We review cosmological inflation and its realization in quantum field theory and string theory. We describe two intertwined approaches to the physics of inflation: from the bottom up in effective field theory, and from the top down in string theory.
