We present a unified approach to the problems of reconstruction of large-scale structure distribution in the universe and determination of the underlying power spectrum. These have often been treated as two separate problems and different…
The latest cosmological data seem to indicate a significant deviation from scale invariance of the primordial power spectrum when parameterized either by a power law or by a spectral index with non-zero "running". This deviation, by itself,…
Detailed knowledge of the primordial power spectrum of curvature perturbations is essential both in order to elucidate the physical mechanism (`inflation') which generated it, and for estimating the cosmological parameters from observations…
