Title |
Dimensional reduction and scale-invariant primordial fluctuations | |||||

Abstract |
I discuss the properties of vacuum fluctuations in theories with non-trivial momentum space geometry which represent dimensional running at high energies, showing that in all theories which run to 2 dimensions in the ultraviolet the vacuum fluctuations, in this regime, are scale-invariant. This is true in flat space but also for “inside the horizon” modes in an expanding universe. I discuss the conditions upon the gravity theory for this scale-invariance to be preserved as the modes are frozen-in outside the horizon. |
