So, we will consider discrete gauge symmetries allowed in string compactification. It is known that string axions from BMN have GUT scale decay constants [16]; hence the QCD axion from string To shrink the field energy much lower than M4P, a natural inflation (mimicking the axion-type − cos potential) has been introduced [23]. M4GUT, the natural inflation with a GUT scale confining force has been introduced [23]. The hilltop potential of Fig. 3 is a Mexican hat potential of U(1)de, i.e. obtained from some discrete symmetry, allowed in string compactification [12]. The hilltop inflation is basically a consequence of discrete symmetries [5, 12, 13] , allowed in string compactification. ./cache/work_6p2xdaetarh6boxvadz5atzsnu.pdf ./txt/work_6p2xdaetarh6boxvadz5atzsnu.txt
