Blue perturbation spectra from inflation

We investigate inflationary models leading to density perturbations with a spectral index $n>1$ (``blue spectra"). These perturbation spectra may be useful to simultaneously account for both the amount of ultra large-scale power required to fit cosmic microwave background anisotropies, such as those measured by COBE, and that required to give bulk motions and structures on the $\sim 50~h^{-1}$ Mpc scale.
