Long-Wavelength Modes of Cosmological Scalar Fields
Abstract
We give a numerical analysis of long-wavelength modes in the WKB approximation of cosmological scalar fields coupled to gravity via φ2R. Massless fields are coupled conformally at =1/6. Conformality can be preserved for fields of nonzero mass by shifting . We discuss implications for density perturbations.
