Abstract
Consistency relations for chaotic inflation with a monomial potential and natural inflation and hilltop inflation are given which involve the scalar spectral index , the tensor-to-scalar ratio and the running of the spectral index . The measurement of with and the improvement in the measurement of could discriminate monomial model from natural/hilltop inflation models. A consistency region for general large field models is also presented.
