Scalar one-loop tensor power spectrum during single-field inflation

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We calculate the scalar-induced one-loop correction to the power spectrum of tensor perturbations produced during single-field slow-roll inflation. We find that the correction is given by the square of the product of the slow-roll parameter and the tree-level scalar power spetctrum. We also discuss the implications of the logarithmic contribution.
