Issues Concerning Loop Corrections to the Primordial Power Spectra
We expound ten principles in an attempt to clarify the debate over infrared
loop corrections to the primordial scalar and tensor power spectra from
inflation. Among other things we note that existing proposals for nonlinear
extensions of the scalar fluctuation field introduce new ultraviolet
divergences which no one understands how to renormalize. Loop corrections and
higher correlators of these putative observables would also be enhanced by
inverse powers of the slow roll parameter . We propose an extension
which should be better behaved.Comment: 36 pages, uses LaTeX2e, version 3 revised for publication with a much
expanded section 4, proving that our proposed extension of the zeta-zeta
correlator absorbs the one loop infrared divergences from graviton
