Perturbations in inflationary cosmologies with smooth exit
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give a comprehensive analysis of how scalar and tensor perturbations evolve in cosmologies with a smooth transition from power-law-like and de Sitter-like inflation to a radiation era. Analytic forms for the super-horizon and sub-horizon perturbations in the inflationary and radiation dominated eras are found.

Perturbations in bouncing cosmologies: dynamical attractor vs scale invariance
For bouncing cosmologies such as the ekpyrotic/cyclic scenarios we show that it is possible to make predictions for density perturbations which are independent of the details of the bouncing phase. This can be achieved, as in inflationary cosmology, thanks to the existence of a dynamical attractor, which makes local observables equal to the unperturbed solution up to exponentially small terms. ...
متن کاملTowards a Braneworld Alternative to Inflationary Cosmology
I review some aspects of warped braneworld cosmologies which have some hope of leading to alternatives to in ation. Afterwards, recent work on density perturbations in this context is discussed.
متن کاملParadox in the light of the Inflationary and Brane World Cosmologies
The Fermi Paradox is discussed in the light of the inflationary and brane world cosmologies. We conclude that some brane world cosmologies may be of relevance for the problem of civilizations spreading across our galaxy, strengthening the Fermi Paradox, but not the inflationary cosmologies, as has been proposed.
متن کاملGraceful Exit and Energy Conditions in String Cosmology
String cosmology solutions are examined in a generalized phase-space including sources representing arbitrary corrections to lowest order string-dilatongravity effective action. We find a set of necessary conditions for a graceful exit transition from a dilaton-driven inflationary phase to a radiation dominated era. We show that sources allowing such a transition have to violate energy conditio...
متن کاملMaximal Fermi charts and geometry of inflationary universes
A proof is given that the maximal Fermi coordinate chart for any comoving observer in a broad class of Robertson-Walker spacetimes consists of all events within the cosmological event horizon, if there is one, or is otherwise global. Exact formulas for the metric coefficients in Fermi coordinates are derived. Sharp universal upper bounds for the proper radii of leaves of the foliation by Fermi ...
