Fine-tuning criteria for inflation and the search for primordial gravitational waves

Fine-tuning criteria for inflation and the search for primordial gravitational waves

We revisit arguments that simple models of inflation with a small red tilt in the scalar power spectrum generically yield an observable tensor spectrum. We show that criteria for fine-tuning based upon the algebraic simplicity of the potential depend strongly upon the explicit assumptions they incorporate, particularly regarding the end …
