Horizon/Hubble radius in SBB Could Trans-Planckian physics affect the CMP power spectrum? Decoupling: A Double Edged Sword Trans-Planckian Physics: Opportunity or Disaster? The Basis question is: Does inflation violate decoupling? The literature considers two possibilities... Inflation and Decoupling: Peaceful Coexistence? Nixon and Bibles: The uses of loopholes Loophole 1: two models of non-adiabatic physics Model 1: Hybrid Inflation Non-adiabatic oscillations Oscillation features The \chi^2 \phi^2 model Implications for the CMB Loophole 2: When Power-Counting goes bad!
