How to falsify scenarios with primordial fluctuations from inflation
In the 15 years since Alan Guth’s famous paper[1] the idea of cosmic inflation has established itself as a central feature of modern cosmology. At this point the inflationary cosmologies are the only theories which can claim to explain the initial conditions of the Standard Big Bang Model, although people still debate the extent to which this claim is legitimate. One of the main difficulties cu...
متن کاملPrimordial Fluctuations from Inflation: a Consistent Histories Approach
We show how the quantum-to-classical transition of the cosmological fluctuations produced during an inflationary stage can be described using the consistent histories approach. We identify the corresponding histories in the limit of infinite squeezing. To take the decaying mode into account, we propose an extension to coarse-grained histories.

متن کاملThe Coherence of Primordial Fluctuations Produced during Inflation
The behaviour of quantum metric perturbations produced during inflation is considered at the stage after the second Hubble radius crossing. It is shown that the classical correlation between amplitude and momentum of a perturbation mode, previously shown to emerge in the course of an effective quantum-to-classical transition, is maintained for a sufficiently long time, and we present the explic...
متن کاملOn the Decoherence of Primordial Fluctuations During Inflation
We study the process whereby quantum cosmological perturbations become classical within inflationary cosmology. By setting up a master-equation formulation we show how quantum coherence for super-Hubble modes can be destroyed by its coupling to the environment provided by sub-Hubble modes. We identify what features the sub-Hubble environment must have in order to decohere the longer wavelengths...
متن کاملPrimordial perturbations from inflation
I review the standard analysis of adiabatic scalar and tensor perturbations produced by slow-roll inflation driven by a single scalar field, before going on to discuss recent work on the role of non-adiabatic modes during and after inflation. Isocurvature perturbations correlated with adiabatic modes may be produced during multi-field inflation and would give valuable information about the phys...
