Four-year COBE normalization of inflationary cosmologies.
We supply fitting formulae enabling the normalization of slow-roll inflation models to the four-year COBE data. We fully include the effect of the gravitational wave modes, including the predicted relation of the amplitude of these modes to that of the density perturbations. We provide the normalization of the matter power spectrum, which can be directly used for large-scale structure studies. ...
متن کاملStable Inflationary Dissipative Cosmologies
Inflationary cosmic expansions driven by a dissipative fluid has attracted some attention in the past as a mechanism able to solve the problems usually attached to the standard hot big-bang scenario (i.e. flatness, horizons, and monopoles abundance) different from those based on one (or more) scalar fields. The main dynamic effect of either the scalar field(s) or the dissipative fluid is to pro...
متن کاملConstraints on Generalized Inflationary Cosmologies
We consider cosmologies having an inflationary period during which the Robertson-Walker scale factor is an arbitrary function of time satisfying /~ > 0 (not necessarily an exponential). We show that any such inflationary period will produce long-wavelength gravitational waves which can affect present observations of the microwave background. Using present bounds on the quadrupole anisotropy we ...
متن کاملStructure Formation in Inflationary Cosmologies
A brief account is given of large-scale structure modelling based on the assumption that the initial perturbations arise from inflation. A recap is made of the implications of inflation for large-scale structure; under the widely applicable slow-roll paradigm inflation adds precisely two extra parameters to the normal scenarios, which can be taken to be the tilt of the density perturbation spec...
متن کاملComplete WMAP Constraints on Bandlimited Inflationary Features
Using a principal component (PC) basis that accommodates order unity features in the slow roll parameters as fine as 1/10 of a decade across more than 2 decades of the inflationary expansion, we test slow roll and single field inflation with the WMAP7 data. Detection of any non-zero component would represent a violation of ordinary slow roll and indicate a feature in the inflaton potential or s...
