Quadratic-inflation amplitude calibration ($m/M_{\mathrm{pl}}=\sqrt{24{\pi }^2{A}_s}/(2N+1)$)

For a quadratic potential with the end set by ${ϵ}_V=1$, a mode leaving $N$ e-folds earlier has ${\varphi }_{\ast }^2=(4N+2)M_{\mathrm{pl}}^2$. Its curvature amplitude is $(m/M_{\mathrm{pl}}{)}^2(2N+1{)}^2/(24{\pi }^2)$. Thus the scalar amplitude fixes the inflaton mass while the tilt and tensor ratio depend only on the exit e-fold count at this order.
