Inflation without an inflaton
We propose a novel scenario in which scalar perturbations, which seed the large-scale structure of the universe, are generated without relying on a scalar field (the inflaton). In this framework, inflation is driven by a de Sitter space time, where tensor metric fluctuations (i.e., gravitational wav...
