Query: Subleading Effects and the Field Range in Axion Inflation   An attractive candidate for the inflaton is an axion slowly rolling down a
flat potential protected by a perturbative shift symmetry. Realisations of this
idea within large field, natural and monomial inflation have been disfavoured
by observations and are difficult to embed in string theory. We show that
subleading, but significant non-perturbative corrections can superimpose sharp
cliffs and gentle plateaus into the potential, whose overall effect is to
enhance the number of e-folds of inflation. Sufficient e-folds are therefore
achieved for smaller field ranges compared to the potential without such
corrections. Thus, both single-field natural and monomial inflation in UV
complete theories like string theory, can be restored into the favour of
current observations, with distinctive signatures. Tensor modes result
un-observably small, but there is a large negative running of the spectral
index. Remarkably, natural inflation can be achieved with a single field whose
axion decay constant is sub-Planckian.
