Cosmological Inflation, Microwave Background Anisotropies and Large Scale Structure of the Universe
D. S. Salopek
Abstract
Cosmological inflation provides the simplest and most promising mechanism for generating fluctuations for structure formation. Using powerful Hamilton-Jacobi methods, I will describe (1) how to compute density fluctuations and cosmic microwave anisotropies arising from inflation, and (2) improvements of the Zel'dovich approximation describing gravitational collapse. I compare these results with the latest cosmological observations.
