Warped compactifications provide a mechanism for generating a hierarchy of physical scales. Strongly warped regions (throats) are also ubiquitous in compactifications with stabilized moduli. In this talk, we describe some recent attempts to construct string inflationary models using warped throats, the CMB signatures of these models, and how differences in the shape of the extra...
