* ABSTRACT

The inflationary paradigm has succeeded in accounting for some of the major paradoxes of the Big Bang theory;
thanks to this period of accelerated expansion, we can now account for the homogeneity, isotropy, and flatness of the Universe
as well as describe the spectrum of primordial density fluctuations. Inflation can be realized within a plethora of models,
both theoretically motivated and phenomenological, and one of the main challenges in cosmology today is in pinning
down the model of inflation to a unique one. In this talk I will overview the status of the single field canonical models
of inflation, and introduce the cosmological parameters which I will use to constrain the models and discriminate between them.
In this talk I will be working with the spectral index, gravitational wave spectrum, the Primordial Black Hole Bound and the induced
gravitational wave spectrum, showing how they can conspire in breaking the degeneracy between the models of inflation.
