Clarifying Slow Roll Inflation and the Quantum Corrections to the Observable Power Spectra
Slow-roll inflation can be studied as an effective field theory. The form of the inflaton potential consistent with the data is V (φ) = N M w (

The observational constraints on the primordial power spectrum have tightened considerably with the release of the first year analysis of the WMAP observations, especially when combined with the results from other CMB experiments and galaxy redshift surveys. These observations allow us to constrain the physics of cosmological inflation: (i)The data show that the Hubble distance is almost consta...

متن کاملGeneralized Slow Roll for Large Power Spectrum Features
We develop a variant of the generalized slow roll approach for calculating the curvature power spectrum that is well-suited for order unity deviations in power caused by sharp features in the inflaton potential. As an example, we show that predictions for a step function potential, which has been proposed to explain order unity glitches in the CMB temperature power spectrum at multipoles l = 20...
متن کاملSlow Roll Reconstruction: Constraints on Inflation from the 3 Year WMAP Dataset
We study the constraints on the inflationary parameter space derived from the 3 year WMAP dataset using “slow roll reconstruction”, using the SDSS galaxy power spectrum to gain further leverage where appropriate. This approach inserts the inflationary slow roll parameters directly into a Monte Carlo Markov chain estimate of the cosmological parameters, and uses the inflationary flow hierarchy t...
