Urs, you might enjoy looking at
http://arxiv.org/abs/http://www.arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0405269
to get some idea of the work being done on inflation
in string theory.
As for the original question in the title: an
email correspondent kindly informs me that
many people believe that the universe can
tunnel out of deSitter to a negative CC, that this
will lead to a Big Crunch, and that some people
[at Princeton and Rutgers]
are interested in seeing what a BC really
means in terms of string theory.
