Final Thoughts on the Power Spectra of Scalar Potential Models
arXiv:1708.03253 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.96.103531
Abstract
We give final shape to a recent formalism for deriving the functional forms of the primordial power spectra of single-scalar potential models and theories which are related to them by conformal transformation. An excellent analytic approximation is derived for the nonlocal correction factors which are crucial to capture the "ringing" that can result from features in the potential. We also present the full algorithm for using our representation, including the nonlocal factors, to reconstruct the inflationary geometry from the power spectra.
