Monomial-inflation curvature amplitude

ID: monomial-inflation-curvature-amplitude

For and the leading endpoint estimate , the slow-roll approximation gives and . Thus and the scalar spectral index obeys . The coefficient sets the amplitude, whereas the monomial power and exit e-fold count set the leading tilt. Changing the power without specifying the coefficient leaves the overall normalization undetermined.
