Recently we introduced and analyzed a setup for inflationary models
based on the theory of matrix valued scalar fields with a generic
quartic potential, M-flation. In this work we study the landscape of
various inflationary models arising from M-flation. The landscape
of the inflationary potential arises from the dynamics of concentric
multiple branes in appropriate flux compactifications of string
theory. After discussing the classical landscape of the theory we
study the possibility of transition among various inflationary
models appearing at different points on the landscape, mapping the
quantum landscape of M-flation. As specific examples, we study
some two-field inflationary models arising from this theory in the
landscape.
