Recovering the inflationary potential
Recovering the inflationary potential
A procedure is developed for the recovery of the inflationary potential over the interval that affects astrophysical scales ($\approx 1\Mpc - 10^4\Mpc$). The amplitudes of the scalar and tensor metric perturbations and their power-spectrum indices, which can in principle be inferred from large-angle CBR anisotropy experiments and other cosmological data, …
