Abstract

Recent experimental determinations of the spectral index describing the scalar mode spectrum of density perturbations encourage comparison with predictions from models of the very early universe. Unlike extended inflation, Induced-gravity Inflation predicts a power spectrum with $0.98 \leq n_s \leq 1.00$ , in close agreement with the experimental measurements.
