53. Eternal inflation: stochastic approach 1 (Inflationary perturbations 7)

In this post I start to discuss physics of eternal inflation - regime where superhorizon cosmological perturbations become of the order 1.


45. Quantization of cosmological perturbations. Mukhanov-Sasaki variable (Inflationary perturbations 5)

I introduce Mukhanov-Sasaki variable, show how to quantize inflationary perturbations and again calculate the power spectrum of primordial perturbations - by QFT this time.


44. Cosmological perturbations in the presence of scalar field (Inflationary perturbations 5)

I discuss cosmological perturbation theory in the Universe where the dominant component of matter is a scalar field. It is show that spectrum of inflationary perturbations is nearly flat.


40. Inflation: field-theoretic description (Inflationary perturbations 4)

I discuss simplest field theoretic models of inflation, dynamics of inflation at the level of background and Hamilton-Jacobi formalism for inflation.


34. Several questions about de Sitter

I ask several questions about Green’s functions on de Sitter
