Perturbations in inflationary cosmologies with smooth exit

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We give a comprehensive analysis of how scalar and tensor perturbations evolve in cosmologies with a smooth transition from power-law-like and de Sitter-like inflation to a radiation era. Analytic forms for the super-horizon and sub-horizon perturbations in the inflationary and radiation dominated eras are found.
