Harrison--Zeldovich spectrum from conformal invariance
Abstract
We show that flat spectrum of small perturbations of field(s) is generated in a simple way in a theory of multi-component scalar field provided this theory is conformally invariant, it has some global symmetry and the quartic potential is negative. We suggest a mechanism of converting these field perturbations into adiabatic scalar perturbations with flat spectrum.
