Long-wavelength metric backreactions in slow-roll inflation

Long-wavelength metric backreactions in slow-roll inflation

We examine the importance of second order corrections to linearized cosmological perturbation theory in an inflationary background, taken to be a spatially flat FRW spacetime. The full second order problem is solved in the sense that we evaluate the effect of the superhorizon second order corrections on the inhomogeneous and …
