Fluctuations in the Hawking Turok model
arXiv:astro-ph/9804289 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.58.063507
Abstract
Scalar and gravity wave subcurvature fluctuations are calculated for a background approximating the Hawking and Turok open universe model. The gravity wave cosmic microwave background contribution is finite and it appears that a normalizable scalar supercurvature mode is possible in some regions of parameter space.
