On Adiabatic Renormalization of Inflationary Perturbations

Durrer, Ruth, Marozzi, Giovanni, Rinaldi, Massimiliano

Understand

We discuss the impact of adiabatic renormalization on the power spectrum of scalar and tensor perturbations from inflation.

  • We show that adiabatic regularization is ambiguous as it leads to very different results, for different adiabatic subtraction schemes, both in the range $v\equiv k/(aH) \gsim 0.1$ and in the infrared regime.
  • All these schemes agree in the far ultraviolet, $v\gg 1$.
  • Therefore, we argue that in the far infrared regime, $v\ll 1$, the adiabatic expansion is no longer valid, and the unrenormalized spectra are the physical, measurable quantities.
