Method of comparison equations for cosmological perturbations
نویسنده
چکیده
We apply the method of comparison equations to study cosmological perturbations during inflation, obtaining the full power spectra of scalar and tensor perturbations to first and to second order in the slow-roll parameters. We compare our results with those derived by means of other methods, in particular the Green’s function method and the improved WKB approximation, and find agreement for the slow-roll structure. The method of comparison equations, just as the improved WKB approximation, can however be applied to more general situations where the slow-roll approximation fails.

Basic results on distributed order fractional hybrid differential equations with linear perturbations
In this article, we develop the distributed order fractional hybrid differential equations (DOFHDEs) with linear perturbations involving the fractional Riemann-Liouville derivative of order $0 < q < 1$ with respect to a nonnegative density function. Furthermore, an existence theorem for the fractional hybrid differential equations of distributed order is proved under the mixed $varphi$-Lipschit...
متن کاملPregalaxy formation: A nonlinear analysis of the evolution of cosmological perturbations.
A higher-order analysis of the evolution of cosmological perturbations in a Friedman universe is given by using the PMF method. The essence of the PMF approach is to choose a gauge where all uctuations of the density, the pressure, and the four-velocity vanish. In that gauge, even in higher orders, the perturbation eld equations simplify considerably; they can be decoupled and for simple equati...
متن کاملEvolution of cosmological perturbations in a brane-universe.
In our present Letter, we analyze the impact of the existence of extra dimensions on cosmology, in particular, on the evolution of cosmological perturbations. For a five-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime where ordinary matter is confined to a brane-universe, the equations governing the cosmological perturbations are presented in a form very close to the equations of standard cosmology. Two t...
متن کاملLinear perturbations in a universe with a cosmological constant
We study the linear theory of perturbations in a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe with a cosmological constant. We obtain the equations for the evolution of the perturbations in the fully relativistic case, for which we analyze the single-fluid and the two-fluid cases. We obtain solutions to these equations in appropriate limits. We also study the Newtonian approximation. We find that for a ...
متن کاملDoubly-gauge-invariant formalism of brane-world cosmological perturbations
We review the doubly gauge invariant formalism of cosmological perturbations in the Randall-Sundrum brane world. This formalism leads to four independent equations describing the evolution of scalar perturbations. Three of these equations are differential equations written in terms of gauge invariant variables on the brane only, and the other is an integro-differential equation describing non-l...
