The Challenge of Realizing F-term Axion Monodromy Inflation in String
  Theory
  A systematic analysis of possibilities for realizing single-field F-term
axion monodromy inflation via the flux-induced superpotential in type IIB
string theory is performed. In this well-defined setting the conditions arising
from moduli stabilization are taken into account, where we focus on the
complex-structure moduli but ignore the Kaehler moduli sector. Our analysis
leads to a no-go theorem, if the inflaton involves the universal axion. We
furthermore construct an explicit example of F-term axion monodromy inflation,
in which a single axion-like field is hierarchically lighter than all remaining
complex-structure moduli.
