Perturbations in generalized multi-field inflation
We study the linear perturbations of multi-field inflationary models governed by a Lagrangian which is a general function of the scalar fields and of a global kinetic term combining their spacetime gradients with an arbitrary field space metric. Our analysis includes k -inflation, Dirac-Born-Infeld inflation and its multi-field extensions which have been recently studied. For this general class...
متن کاملSecond Order Gauge-Invariant Perturbations during Inflation
The evolution of gauge invariant second-order scalar perturbations in a general single field inflationary scenario are presented. Different second order gauge invariant expressions for the curvature are considered. We evaluate perturbatively one of these second order curvature fluctuations and a second order gauge invariant scalar field fluctuation during the slow-roll stage of a massive chaoti...
متن کاملSe p 20 00 Second Order Perturbations of a Macroscopic String ; Covariant Approach
Using a world-sheet covariant formalism, we derive the equations of motion for second order perturbations of a generic macroscopic string, thus generalizing previous results for first order perturbations. We give the explicit results for the first and second order perturbations of a contracting near-circular string; these results are relevant for the understanding of the possible outcome when a...

متن کاملDelta-N formalism for the evolution of the curvature perturbations in generalized multi-field inflation
The δN formalism is considered for the calculation of the evolution of the curvature perturbations in generalized multi-field inflation models. The result is consistent with the usual calculation of the standard kinetic term. For the calculation of the generalized kinetic term, we improved the definition of the adiabatic field. Our calculation improves the usual calculation of Ṙ based on the fi...
