Spinflation with Angular Potentials
  We investigate in detail the cosmological consequences of realistic angular
dependent potentials in the brane inflation scenario. Embedding a warped throat
into a compact Calabi-Yau space with all moduli stabilized breaks the no-scale
structure and induces angular dependence in the potential of the probe
D3-brane. We solve the equations of motion from the DBI action in the warped
deformed conifold including linearized perturbations around the imaginary
self-dual solution. Our numerical solutions show that angular dependence is a
next to leading order correction to the dominant radial motion of the brane,
however, just as angular motion typically increases the amount of inflation
(spinflation), having additional angular dependence also increases the amount
of inflation. We also derive an analytic approximation for the number of
e-foldings along the DBI trajectory in terms of the compactification
parameters.
