Large Field Inflation Models from Higher-Dimensional Gauge Theories
  Motivated by the recent detection of B-mode polarization of CMB by BICEP2
which is possibly of primordial origin, we study large field inflation models
which can be obtained from higher-dimensional gauge theories. The constraints
from CMB observations on the gauge theory parameters are given, and their
naturalness are discussed. Among the models analyzed, Dante's Inferno model
turns out to be the most preferred model in this framework.
