Abstract
We develop the relation between de Sitter holography and inflation in detail, with particular attention to cosmic density perturbations. We set up the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism to present a systematic treatment of the logarithmic corrections to a scale invariant spectrum. Our computations can be interpreted without reference to holography, as strong infra-red effects in gravity. This point of view may be relevant for the fine-tuning problems inherent to inflation.
