2 1. Introduction In superstring theory on 6D compact space, there are lots of axions as well as moduli, which have a flat potential. The shift symmetry controls a flat potential of axions, and some effects violate it and generate axion potential. Thus, axions are one of good candidates for the inflaton in superstring theory.
3 Axion inflation Indeed, lots of studies have been done. Famous axion inflations natural inflation Freese, Frieman, Olinto, 90 C( 1cos( a / f monodromy inflation Silverstein, Westphal, 08 r r, 1, /3,... Ca

5 Axion inflation Are there other forms of potentials for axion inflation in superstring theory? We would like to discuss it today.

27 Summary We have studied new types of axion inflation potential within the framework of superstring theory. Threshold corrections lead to the eta function inflation potential. It can enhance the axion decay constant by the inverse of loop factor. Stringy threshold corrections also include modulation terms, which are interesting effects on observables.
28 Summary Quantum corrections on period vector can lead a new type of axion inflation potential, which is a mixture of polynomial functions and sinusoidal functions. That can lead to both large tensor-to-scalar ratio and small r.
29 Further work Many models with the SM gauge group and three chiral generations have been constructed in type IIA (intersecting D-brane models and type IIB magnetized D-brane models as well as heterotic orbifold models. It is important to combine such models as the visible sector and the present inflation sector to realize the complete theory. We know the coupling between axion/inflaton and SM fields. Then, we study details.
