Abstract
Spectra are calculated for the primordial adiabatic perturbations and the gravitational waves that would develop in the author's 1980 model of a nonsingular cosmology with an initial de Sitter quantum stage resulting from gravitational vacuum polarization. The gravitational-wave spectrum will be flat; the adiabatic-perturbation spectrum, nearly so. In that event the most promising way to detect large-scale temperature anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background would be to measure ..delta..T/T correlations over 5/sup 0/--10/sup 0/ angles.

A General Analytic Formula for the Spectral Index of the Density Perturbations Produced during Inflation.

TL;DR: In this article, the spectrum and spectral index of the density perturbations produced during inflation were derived based on Starobinsky's spectral index, which is the same as the spectral index derived in this paper.

Superconformal inflationary α-attractors

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors generalize this class of superconformal inflationary models by introducing a parameter α inversely proportional to the curvature of the inflaton Kahler manifold.

Inflation and the Conformal Structure of Higher Order Gravity Theories

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined gravity theories derived from a gravitational lagrangian and showed that they are conformally equivalent to general relativity plus a scalar-field matter source with a particular self-interaction potential.
