On the decoherence of primordial gravitons

Abstract It is well-known that the primordial scalar curvature and tensor perturbations, ζ and γ ij , are conserved on super-horizon scales in minimal inflation models. However, their wave functional has a rapidly oscillating phase which is slow-roll unsuppressed, as can be seen either from boundary...
