Here is a prediction of the ratio of tensor to scalar of gravitational waves. They just got the ratio a bit low at 0.07 whereas the measured ratio is 0.2. http://arxiv.org/abs/0808.0706
Gravity Waves and Linear Inflation from Axion Monodromy Liam McAllister<http://arxiv.org/find/hep-th/1/au:+McAllister_L/0/1/0/all/0/1> , Eva Silverstein<http://arxiv.org/find/hep-th/1/au:+Silverstein_E/0/1/0/all/0/1> , Alexander Westphal<http://arxiv.org/find/hep-th/1/au:+Westphal_A/0/1/0/all/0/1> (Submitted on 5 Aug 2008 (v1 <http://arxiv.org/abs/0808.0706v1>), last revised 5 Aug 2008 (this version, v2)) Wrapped branes in string compactifications introduce a monodromy that extends the field range of individual closed-string axions to beyond the Planck scale. Furthermore, approximate shift symmetries of the system naturally control corrections to the axion potential. This suggests a general mechanism for chaotic inflation driven by monodromy-extended closed-string axions. We systematically analyze this possibility and show that the mechanism is compatible with moduli stabilization and can be realized in many types of compactifications, including warped Calabi-Yau manifolds and more general Ricci-curved spaces. In this broad class of models, the potential is linear in the canonical inflaton field, predicting a tensor to scalar ratio r=0.07 accessible to upcoming cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations.
