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. The energy scale of primordial inflation is thought to be hierarchically below the gravitational scale, ∗) which could account for the existence of tiny fluctuations of the cosmic microwave background radiation. 1) The origin of the hierarchical scale of inflation may be dimensional transmutation induced by gauge theory dynamics. ∗∗) Gauge theory dynamics for inflation are expected to induce profound effects on the evolution of the universe, since the inflationary process may determine the vacuum of our universe through dominant expansion of the spatial extension of the corresponding inflationary vacuum. In this paper, we consider generic implications of such dynamical inflation for vacuum selection of our universe, including determination of spacetime symmetries, in particular, dimension, which is described by the compactification moduli. We consider a mixed model of dilaton fixing 2) and topological inflation 3),∗∗∗) as a simple example of dynamical inflation that incorporates an inflationary selection of the vacuum of our universe. Let us consider a four-dimensional supersymmetric field theory with dilaton Φ and inflaton φ supermultiplets, whose superpotential takes the form
