Description
This project explores the effects of renormalization on the amplitude of the inflationary spectra at scales measurable in the cosmic microwave background.
Via a gauge-invariant analysis, it is explained why the standard prediction for the spectra on superhorizon scales is a late-time attractor while they are UV finite at all times. This result is independent of the equation of state after inflation, showing that the standard prediction is fully robust.
