Cmbgg OmOl Slow-roll inflation is forbidden in themost clearly understood class of compactifications: in the large volume and small string couplinglimit of all Calabi-Yau orientifold compactifications when only standard NS-NS three-form flux, R-Rfluxes, D6-branes and O6-planes are included. With these ingredients, the first slow-roll parametersatisfiesϵ≥27/13wheneverV >0..
