Quantum decoherence of the homogeneous modes during inflation

Abstract

In this short note we consider the decoherence of the minisuperspace background degrees of freedom due to the long wavelength scalar and tensor perturbations becoming unobservable within the Born-Oppenheimer approach to the quantum gravity. We apply this to the power law inflation model.
