Abstract
We derive the power spectrum Ρ(k) of the density perturbations produced during inflation up to second-order corrections in the standard slow-roll approximation for an inflaton with more than one degree of freedom. We also present the spectral index n up to first-order corrections including previously missing terms, and the running dn/d lnk to leading order.
