General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Title: Primordial fluctuations from nonlinear couplings

Abstract: We study the spectrum of primordial fluctuations in theories where the inflaton field is coupled to massless fields and/or to itself. Conformally invariant theories generically predict a scale invariant spectrum. Scales entering the theory through infrared divergences cause logarithmic corrections to the spectrum, tiltilng it towards the blue. We discuss in some detail whether these fluctuations are quantum or classical in nature.
Comments: 12 pages, Revtex, we added an appendix clarifying our assumptions about the initial conditions at the beggining of inflation
