42. The limit p→-∞ of corresponds to an exponential potential like the one discussed in this article; however, no estimate of r and nT, which depend on the exponent α∼, were given, and the WMAP3 data set alone was used for comparison. This led Alabidi and Lyth to conclude that an exponential potential would be allowed at the 2σ level.

47. We focus on the overall volume modulus here-all other moduli (e.g. complex structure moduli and Kähler moduli) are assumed to be stabilized already. Since it is not always possible to find points of enhanced symmetry, one cannot use the notion of quantum moduli trapping for all of them.

51. Both N and q could in principle be computed via a study of the production mechanism of the sting gas. This process shares similarities to preheating and in fact overlaps with the early stages of preheating. Consequently, preheating might be influenced (see Sec. 4).

64. One way to avoid the defect overabundance problem is to enhance the symmetry which is broken during the annihilation; this can be achieved by having several overlapping branes instead of just one.

67. Nevertheless, there are possibilities to enhance suppressed reheating channels by considering large vacuum expectation values of scalar matter fields after inflation, see e.g..

69. Notice that g is expected to be small in our model. As a consequence, condition 67 is not satisfied and preheating will not progress in the regime of narrow parametric resonance.
