Fine tuning and the ratio of tensor to scalar density fluctuations from cosmological inflation

The form of the inflationary potential is severely restricted if one requires that it be natural in the technical sense, i.e. terms of unrelated origin are not required to be correlated. We determine the constraints on observables that are implied in such natural inflationary models, in particular o...
