Since its inception in 1981, inflation has§emerged as the dominant paradigm for describing the§physics of the early universe. While inflation has§matured theoretically over two decades, it has only§recently begun to be rigorously tested§observationally. Measurements of the cosmic§microwave background and large-scale structure§surveys have begun to unravel the mysteries§of the inflationary epoch with exquisite and§unprecedented accuracy. This work is a contribution§to the effort of reconstructing the physics of§inflation. This information is largely encoded in§the potential energy function of the inflaton, the§field that drives the inflationary expansion. With§little theoretical guidance as to the probable form§of this potential, reconstruction is a predominantly§data-driven endeavor. This work presents an§investigation and appraisal of the current§constraints that can be imposed on different§inflationary theories of the early universe.
