Inflationary Cosmological Perturbations of Quantum-Mechanical Origin
This review article aims at presenting the theory of inflation. We first describe the background spacetime behavior during the slow-roll phase and analyze how inflation ends and the Universe reheats. Then, we present the theory of cosmological perturbations with special emphasis on their behavior during inflation. In particular, we discuss the quantum-mechanical nature of the fluctuations and s...
متن کاملTensor perturbations in inflationary models as a probe of cosmology.
In principle, the tensor metric (gravity-wave) perturbations that arise in inflationary models can, beyond probing the underlying inflationary model, provide information about the Universe: ionization history, presence of a cosmological constant, and epoch of matter-radiation equality. Because tensor perturbations give rise to anisotropy of the cosmic background radiation (CBR) solely through t...
متن کاملProduction of scalar and tensor perturbations in inflationary models.
Scalar (density) and tensor (gravity-wave) perturbations provide the basis for the fundamental observable consequences of inflation, including CBR anisotropy and the fluctuations that seed structure formation. In general, these perturbations are nearly scale invariant (Harrison-Zel’dovich spectrum), though slight deviation from scale invariance (“tilt”) can have significant consequences for bot...
متن کاملClassical and Quantum Theory of Perturbations in Inflationary Universe Models
A brief introduction to the gauge invariant classical and quantum theory of cosmological perturbations is given. The formalism is applied to inflationary Universe models and yields a consistent and unified description of the generation and evolution of fluctuations. A general formula for the amplitude of cosmological perturbations in inflationary cosmology is derived. ⋆ Invited lecture presente...
متن کاملTensor Perturbations in Quantum Cosmological Backgrounds
In the description of the dynamics of tensor perturbations on a homogeneous and isotropic background cosmological model, it is well known that a simple Hamiltonian can be obtained if one assumes that the background metric satisfies Einstein classical field equations. This makes it possible to analyze the quantum evolution of the perturbations since their dynamics depends only on this classical ...
