Large scales space–time waves from inflation with time dependent cosmological parameter

Abstract

We study the emission of large-scales wavelength space–time waves during the inflationary expansion of the universe, produced by back-reaction effects. As an example, we study an inflationary model with variable time scale, where the scale factor of the universe grows as a power of time. The coarse-grained field to describe space–time waves is defined by using the Levy distribution, on the wavenumber space. The evolution for the norm of these waves on cosmological scales is calculated, and it is shown that decreases with time.
