Scalar Perturbations and Conformal Transformation
The non-minimal coupling of gravity to a scalar field can be transformed into a minimal coupling through a conformal transformation. We show how to connect the results of a perturbation calculation, performed around a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker background solution, before and after the conformal transformation. We work in the synchronous gauge, but we discuss the implications of employing other...
متن کاملScalar Duality , Conformal Invariance and Quasi - Locality
The problem of maintaining scale and conformal invariance in Maxwell and general N-form gauge theories away from their critical dimension d c = 2(N +1) is analyzed. We first exhibit the underlying group-theoretical clash between locality, gauge, Lorentz and conformal invariance requirements. " Improved "-traceless-stress tensors are then constructed; each violates one of the above criteria. How...
متن کاملWarm Inflation and Scalar Perturbations of the Metric
A second order expansion for the quantum fluctuations of the matter field was considered in the framework of the warm inflation scenario. The friction and Hubble parameters were expanded by means of a semiclassical approach. The fluctuations of the Hubble parameter generates fluctuations of the metric. These metric fluctuations produce an effective term of curvature. The power spectrum for the ...

متن کاملScalar perturbations during multiple field slow-roll inflation
We calculate the scalar gravitational and matter perturbations in the context of slow-roll inflation with multiple scalar fields, that take values on a (curved) manifold, to first order in slow roll. For that purpose a basis for these perturbations determined by the background dynamics is introduced and multiple field slow-roll functions are defined. To obtain analytic solutions to first order,...
