Density Perturbations of Quantum Mechanical Origin and Anisotropy of the Microwave Background

Abstract

If the large-angular-scale anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background radiation is caused by the long-wavelength cosmological perturbations of quantum mechanical origin, they are, most likely, gravitational waves, rather than density perturbations or rotational perturbations.
