Observing the Inflaton Potential
Edmund J. Copeland, Edward W. Kolb, Andrew R. Liddle +1
We show how observations of the density perturbation (scalar) spectrum and the gravitational wave (tensor) spectrum allow a reconstruction of the potential responsible for cosmolog…

Reconstructing the Inflaton Potential---in Principle and in Practice
Edmund Copeland, Edward W. Kolb, Andrew R. Liddle +1
Generalizing the original work by Hodges and Blumenthal, we outline a formalism which allows one, in principle, to reconstruct the potential of the inflaton field from knowledge of…
