Abstract: We consider an inflationary scenario in which the energy scale of inflation stems from gauge theory dynamics. Reflecting on inflationary models with moduli fields such as a dilaton, we discuss generic implications of the scenario for vacuum selection of our universe, including determination of spacetime symmetries, in particular, dimension, which is described by the compactification moduli.
