A Consistent Effective Theory of Long-Wavelength Cosmological Perturbations
Effective field theory provides a perturbative framework to study the evolution of cosmological large-scale structure. We investigate the underpinnings of this approach, and suggest new ways to compute correlation functions of cosmological observables. We find that, in contrast with quantum field theory, the appropriate effective theory of classical cosmological perturbations involves interacti...

متن کاملKinetic versus thermal-field-theory approach to cosmological perturbations.
A closed set of equations for the evolution of linear perturbations of homogeneous, isotropic cosmological models can be obtained in various ways. The simplest approach is to assume a macroscopic equation of state, e.g. that of a perfect fluid. For a more refined description of the early universe, a microscopic treatment is required. The purpose of this paper is to compare the approach based on...
متن کاملInflation and the Theory of Cosmological Perturbations
These lectures provide a pedagogical introduction to inflation and the theory of cosmological perturbations generated during inflation which are thought to be the origin of structure in the universe.
متن کاملLectures on the Theory of Cosmological Perturbations
The theory of cosmological perturbations has become a cornerstone of modern quantitative cosmology since it is the framework which provides the link between the models of the very early Universe such as the inflationary Universe scenario (which yield causal mechanisms for the generation of fluctuations) and the wealth of recent high-precision data on the spectrum of density fluctuations and cos...
