  Inflation provides a unified paradigm for understanding the isotropy of the
cosmic microwave background (CMB), the flatness problem, and the origin of
large-scale structure. Although the physics responsible for inflation is not
yet well understood, slow-roll inflation generically makes several predictions:
a flat Universe, primordial adiabatic density perturbations, and a stochastic
gravity-wave background. Inflation further predicts specific relations between
the amplitudes and shapes of the spectrum of density perturbations and gravity
waves. There are now excellent prospects for testing precisely these
predictions with forthcoming CMB temperature and polarization maps. Here I
discuss these new CMB tests of inflation.
