Abstract
We show how to determine the typical phase space volume for primordial gravitational waves produced during an inflationary stage, which is invariant under squeezing. An expression for is found in the long wavelength regime. The quasi-classical entropy of a pure vacuum initial state defined as the logarithm of modulo a constant remains zero in spite of the generation of fluctuations (creation of real gravitons).
