Induced-gravity Inflation and the Density Perturbation Spectrum
arXiv:astro-ph/9405029 · doi:10.1016/0370-2693(94)91292-0
Abstract
Recent experimental determinations of the spectral index describing the scalar mode spectrum of density perturbations encourage comparison with predictions from models of the very early universe. Unlike extended inflation, Induced-gravity Inflation predicts a power spectrum with , in close agreement with the experimental measurements.
