We study an effective 4-dimensional scalar-tensor field theory, originated
from an underlying brane-bulk warped geometry, to explore the scenario of
inflation. It is shown that the inflaton potential naturally emerges from the
radion energy-momentum tensor which in turn results into an inflationary model
of the Universe on the visible brane that is consistent with the recent results
from the Planck's experiment. The dynamics of modulus stabilization from the
inflaton rolling condition is demonstrated. The implications of our results in
the context of recent BICEP2 results are also discussed.Comment: 11 pages, Latex style, 4 eps figures and 1 tabl
