WKB approximation for inflationary cosmological perturbations
A new method for predicting inflationary cosmological perturbations, based on the Wentzel-KramersBrillouin ~WKB! approximation, is presented. A general expression for the WKB scalar and tensor power spectra is derived. The main advantage of the new scheme of approximation is that it is valid even if the slow-roll conditions are violated. The method is applied to power-law inflation, which allow...
متن کاملImproved Estimates of Cosmological Perturbations
We recently derived exact solutions for the scalar, vector, and tensor mode functions of a single, minimally coupled scalar plus gravity in an arbitrary homogeneous and isotropic background. These solutions are applied to obtain improved estimates for the primordial scalar and tensor power spectra of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background.

متن کاملCosmological perturbations
We review the study of inhomogeneous perturbations about a homogeneous and isotropic background cosmology. We adopt a coordinate based approach, but give geometrical interpretations of metric perturbations in terms of the expansion, shear and curvature of constant-time hypersurfaces and the orthogonal timelike vector field. We give the gauge transformation rules for metric and matter variables ...
متن کاملConserved cosmological perturbations
A conserved cosmological perturbation is associated with each quantity whose local evolution is determined entirely by the local expansion of the Universe. It may be defined as the appropriately normalised perturbation of the quantity, defined using a slicing of spacetime such that the expansion between slices is spatially homogeneous. To first order, on super-horizon scales, the slicing with u...
متن کاملCosmological Brane Perturbations a
At the end of the last millennium it was realized that the traditional Kaluza-Klein approach is not the only possibility of dimensional reduction. An alternative approach was developed, the brane-world scenario. In this scenario the standard matter fields are constrained to a lower dimensional hypersurface, or brane, which is embedded in a higher dimensional spacetime, or bulk. The gravitationa...
